Giving Your Computer Interface the Finger

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the let-your-fingers-do-the-computing dept.

moon_unit2 writes "Tech Review has a story about a startup that's developed software capable of tracking not just hand movements but precise finger gestures. The setupm from 3Gear, requires two depth-sensing cameras (aka Kinects) at the top corners of your display. Then simply give your computer thumbs up — or whatever other gesture you might feel like — and it'll know what you're doing. The software is available for free while the product is in beta testing, if you want to give it a try."

    This would be really interesting interface if it had a library of American Sign Language gestures and fingerspelling capabilities.
