If you want/need to fly with the CEM enabled, to be able to activate/deactivate buttons with Kinect or whichever other of the like on the cockpit panel would undoubtely add to inmersion.

The problem I described is that, while immersive, you don't want to be looking around what button you trigger all the time, where it is and where your virtual hand is. That's not immersive. I experienced it, tried it, and while it's fun for a short time it's really just a hazzle after a while and messes with your brain. Even tiny lags or calibration errors mess with you.

I'm not saying it's not doable - I'm saying that it's only working in very specific cases (see post above) or in a different setup you describe.
