Pleeease let me send a problem report by giving my laptop the finger.
I came across an application called Flutter earlier today. It uses gestures to control Itunes/Spotify through the mac webcam. Nothing new about gestures, although this one surprisingly enough actually works quite well, with low resources, straight from the cam.
At this stage quite straightforward, one clear gesture. And after only using it for a while, leaving the desktop. I found my self flipping my hand in a greeting eerily similar to something out of the 40’s. So who knows, together with Siri, maybe will I not only talk in a resolute tone to my computer. But actually jump, twirl and wave my hands at the same time.
It is still in alpha, therefore not 100% accurate as mentioned before.
Comes quite close, mostly messes up in profile with my nose.
But in all curiosity Interaction students. Give it a try.
P.S, After you have given it a try, download the facial/blob recognition package for processing from Open CV and get going.
