LeapMotion might be the missing piece. Doesn't have haptic feedback, obviously, but it would be better than trying to type.

The Leap Motion device might be another option.https://www.leapmotion.com

Looks unreal - but isn't this similar to http://leapmotion.com or?

Minority Report style interfaces that require big limb+head movements?

Pretty sure you're thinking of Leap Motion.https://www.leapmotion.com

Maybe some kind of (improved) Leap Motion finger tracking combined with a virtual keyboard would be acceptable?

Another option is to use a touchless approach with something like leap motion.

How about a leapmotion to detect where your hands are so you don't even need a controller at all?

Reminds me of the Leap (https://www.leapmotion.com/)
