Robotic Movement Translations

Just found this video on researchers in Japan working on programming synchronization between video recognition of human arm/hand movements and a computer model of a robotic hand/arm setup.  This is really interesting to me not because of the nice movement of the robotic arm, but of the possibilities (as they mention in the video) of adapting the program model to manipulation of displayed data environments on a computer in 3-d. Might seem crazy, but it could be a way to another step in interfacing humans and machines for faster input and manipulation of data.  What do you guys think?  Here's the video:

    Looks very cool. But I'll probably be an old man clinging to my mouse and keyoard, ranting about how easy kids have it with their robotic arms.

    I saw a similar video in my anthropology class the other day - it was researchers at MIT who had designed some sort of robot that was bipedal and could do flips and stuff. They can do some amazing things with robots nowadays.
