Cool tech. Great toys. Won't be ready for regular use any time soon if
ever. A wii-mote and voice input go under never. Nobody wants to replace a
mouse with a 3D mouse, unless they're actually doing 3D manipulation of
objects -- which means walking around in 3D VR or doing 3D animation. 3D
GUIs are not yet, and probably won't be for the foreseeable future,
something the average person even *wants*.

The problem with a 3D mouse is that even 2D suffers from severe physical
problems, ie, RSI. 3D mice are reliably re****ted to be much worse than
regular ones at causing that stuff.

Voice input: nobody wants to talk to their computers because other people
are gonna overhear and besides, typing's quicker.

Video gl***** mainly have practicability issues, with a healthy dollop of
"people feel like crap after using them briefly" thrown in.
