Apologies to the Gestulative Mouse idea for which this was insipiration, but I wonder whether the technology's now clever enough to have a minority report kind of interface where your screen is projected onto a wall, and you're viewed with a webcam facing the wall. This bit of software interprets the
angles (and therefore what you're pointing at on screen) and hey presto you can move stuff around.
P.S. a bit like the eyetoy, if you've seen one of those.

... And if you don't have a playstation, buy and eyetoy anyway and give it to me. Yes, I have a playstation 2, and a playstation 1 and a Gamecube. There is also my brothers sega megadrive somewhere... |

Come on neil, isn't this too much of a WTCTTISITMWIBNIIWR? |
|
| |
it's a bit like that, [Acme], only I've proposed a cheap method (desktop webcam, software) to achieve the same. All other methods use black gloves and reflective dots, which sort of does away with the spontanaeity for me. |

I don't think it's a WTCTTISITMWIBNIIWR as he is not idly wishing such a thing were real, rather he is proposing how to make it real. |

[Pa've] you need to read the help file :) |

has this been done with Kinect yet? |
|
| |
the future came 6 years later. |
|
| |
Also lettuce remember that using any interface that requires you to wave your hands about like a mad conductor is quite tiring. Imagine having to do this at work for 8+ hours. |
|
| |
not quite Konnect but it has been done elsewhere, see link to sixthsense by Pranav Mistry, but still prescient enough for a belated bun. |
