I don’t know if gesture controls will be as pervasive as “user interfaces as the touchscreen and accelerometer have become in smartphones”, as Michel Tombroff, chief executive of Softkinetic said in this VentureBeat post. But i do agree that the space is very exciting with numerous possibilities across many different devices.
While video games are an obvious market for gesture tech, Other applications like TV menu navigation (kill the remote 
, kiosks in malls or public venues like sports arenas, information booths, subway/train/bus ticket purchases. Think of the health benefits by not having people spread germs by all touching the same screen/buttons (I know, so many other places germs get passed but this is a big one and every little bit helps).
I’d love to see someone add gesture on a kiosk and then add holography video. That way you can change the interface from a menu to a person (or whatever you want really). Imagine the possibilities if you enabled interaction with a holographic video of a person. I think such a kiosk would be very cool.
