ASUS just announced this unit and will have a demo unit on display at CES. It uses technology from PrimeSense (the same company responsible for the technology behind the Xbox Kinect) and will supposedly provide a way to control your home theater using gestures.

You should be able to have a trigger gesture, like the 'xxxxxx, do something' of voice recognition. Perhaps a YMCA gesture at the start of every command?
