Um, I think it's for animation enthusiasts. But it looks impractical especially if you have any sort of IK solvers, then the doll and the rig won't match up. The doll takes up two of your hands and a bunch of deskspace so I'm not sure if this is an improvement over keyboard and mouse. It's a fun toy for enthusiasts. But what do I know?

This tool would be great for pose to pose, not so good for straight animation, I’m sure the anime studios will jump on this. I won’t replace my wooden one anytime soon.

My first Adobe purchase was Photoshop 2.0, CS6 was my last! < = >

Would be cool if they could put those sensors inside craft pipe cleaners to get amazing flexibility. Somehow assign bones in the app to each pipe cleaner so people could make a skeleton (to whatever creature they want) with the pipe cleaner and then animate it by moving the pipe cleaners.

I miss my Action Man.

 

This is a great tool for traditional stop motion animators. I dare say it's possible to build your own using resistive plastics or flexible strain gauges such as these http://www.tekscan.com/flexible-force-sensors

 

Just add talent.
