Genie was inspired by the futuristic gesture and voice activated systems commonly found in movies such as Iron Man and Minority Report. It provides additional functionality to a traditional mouse and keyboard setup, useful for people working at a desk.
It also could be used for presentations and other situations where someone needs control of a computer but doesn't want to be stuck behind a screen. Genie allows a user full control over the mouse, window movements, volume control, and scrolling. All of these are commonly used in presentations and are now easy to access.
Genie cannot truly be displayed with only screenshots - the UI is minimalistic and serves only to show the user what the kinect is seeing. To really get a sense of what Genie is capable of a hands on demo is required.
