Seriously. I have a very niche (but killer--at least for me) application for a Leap Motion–Oculus Rift combo. I can't wait to give it a go, but I'm waiting for the consumer versions to be released first.
I'd say it's generally never too early, it all depends on how you frame things.
You can get some good early feedback and validation on what you're working on and trying to solve and then also try to bring them in as an early adopter once you have something ready to market.
Why not take the approach of monitoring it instead and triggering alarms based off specific traffic..? So if you use too much foo vs HTTP, trigger an alert. This is one of the things we use Boundary for.
