Those gestures could be substituted by eye tracking. In Kinect UIs, menu buttons are often activated by holding your hand to the specified position for a certain amount of time. This can be translated to directly looking at an element for some couple hundred milliseconds.

I think I'd hate that, eye movement affects the pov so you wouldn't be able to use a context menu effectively for instance.

True that. Brainwave recognition would be way better :)
