I can appreciate if this is a new record in lowering the cost, however why is this any better than writing down what you want to say?

You just reinvented the Nintendo PowerGlove, which measured finger bending. And a kid's science fair project from over 20 years ago. I hope their research cites all previous work.

Completely useless. Just a school project for kids to have fun. No practical usage.
