Well working to turn this into reality are the folks at Mgestyk Technologies with their gesture-based interface which makes use of a 3D camera and a software application which turns hand based gestures into computer commands.

Sized like a Gameboy but based off of a Super Joy III Nintendo, the console hosts 72 built-in games. I don't the modder should gloat simply because its an NES that he's modded, aesthetics and functionality do matter....
