Gmail Motion–It really works–You just need a Kinect and some Custom Software

Sunday, 3 April 2011 16:40 by tariq

Some of you have probably already seen Google’s April 1st announcement of their technology to use “Motion Sensing” to control Gmail.

I betcha Google probably didn’t think of Kinect when making that spoof or perhaps they did which is why it sound plausible in a remote way.

Anyways the FAST crew have responded to the spoof with demoing their Software doing just that. i.e. having motion control for Gmail using a Kinect and custom software.

 

Actually this seems very feasible if you could get an intermediary software layer to function as a keyboard by recognizing Kinect Gestures, controlling Gmail is a matter of mapping keyboard shortcuts to gestures. At least that is how I think this works.

Appreciating the persistence you put into your site and in depth information you provide. It's good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same unwanted rehashed information. Great read! I've bookmarked your site and I'm adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.

Hello From Montreal, blogs are good but if you have good content on your web site. Content is golden, I’m not saying anything new. Most of you in the SEO business all knows that.
