Gestures and touch screens are useless for computer use. You can play stupid games and make simple navigation out of gestures/touches but that's all. And machines are way far from being able to understand even a half-sentence if it's arbitrary like 'hey, open second life and log me in while i'm out in the kitchen.'. Maybe you should rather re-program people to speak in computer-understandable way. :) As for keyboards, you should rather make vertical keyboards and mice (see google for existing products) to preserve your hand's health. Oh, you can't see the nice led displays then... :) http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus-tactus/
