Gesture Controlled Computer using a Webcam

 

Check out the latest Microsoft technology, it is Gesture Controlled Computer using a Webcam.

“Using a $30 dollar camera and this piece of Podtech software that’s still in development, you can play with computers just like Tom Cruise did in Minority Report, by grabbing files by the nipples and dragging them around the screen. Using topological depth technology, it figures out what’s the static background, and differentiates it between the changing foreground. By pinching areas within the camera’s view you section off ovals which you can use to rotate and move around the display, and the researcher said more gestures are being worked on. What you’re looking at is basically an advanced, but limited, version of Eye Toy in disguise, but think about how many games you could use this technology with. ”

  1. This is wild. However if they want a pattern to follow, I have a suggestion, why not the American Standard Sign language. Think what that software would do for the disabled. You’ve heard of text to speech? Well you would have “hand to speech”!



  2. Thanks for the shout out, hopefully this kind of technology keeps improving.



  3. What happens when you flick it off? Give it the bird?


  4. Flicking it off causes your computer to turn off… duh ๐Ÿ˜‰ Either that or go to your fav pr0n site ๐Ÿ™‚
