I am posting this for a friend:

-------------------------------------------------------------

Have you investigated David Rokeby's "A Very Nervous System", or 
Vincent J. Vincent/Frank MacDougall's  "Mandala System"?

The former uses cameras to track motion;  it was originally designed to
be used with dancers.  It has sinced been adapted to  provide an interface
for physically handicapped people playing musical instruments.  

The latter uses cameras to capture the form of the "user" - the user may then
interact directly with screen objects.

Both of these systems were demonstrated at CHI '90's "interactive experience".
There is a Canadian Broadcasting Corp.  show about the "Very Nervous System"
players (I believe they played with Liberace in Vegas at one point...).
