One could probably map each gesture to a regular USB device that acts as a second keyboard and mouse? The hard part is identifying enough unique gestures?

Surprisingly well! It's a really well put together demo & tutorial. I held a pen up next to me and held the green button. Then did the same with a mouse. It would flick between the two if I was holding nothing, so I held the orange button for a bit while holding nothing. Worked pretty much every time. Training is fast enough with a few hundred images per class that I didn't notice any delay.
What do you mean exactly by "held the green button"? I can't run the demo here (browser not capable enough, and no camera) and I'm getting really curious what this is about.

#23Am I the only paranoid one who thinks this is just Google's way of capturing millions of faces in their database? Or did Apple beat them to it?

Also I think a lot of the processing is done in the browser using deeplearning.js, so I don't know how much is sent back to Google.

#25How long before I can teach my computer gestures that are mapped to real computer functions? For example, scroll up/down, switch apps, save document, cut/copy/paste, etc. One could probably map each gesture to a regular USB device that acts as a second keyboard and mouse? The hard part is identifying enough unique gestures?

#26Does anyone know what this uses under the hood? I loved the demo, but I would like a similarly easy way to get started locally with Python, for example. Is there an ML library that can easily start capturing images from the webcam so you can play around with training a model?

You mean a device such as the Leap Motion Controller? http://store-eur.leapmotion.com/products/leap-motion-control... They seem to offer a VR headset add-on these days, but I've only ever seen the 'basic' controller in action, which worked okay-ish.

Also, I don't think that this sends any data to Google, since it trains the neural net in the browser. You could even verify this yourself by looking at the source code.

But won’t it be on just that FQDN alone? Google analytics and ads are served from a totally different domain. What’s the actual concern here?
So you are contending we are secure via DNS?
Because if you assume an attacker to have control over DNS, the security model of giving permission on a per-domain basis is broken anyway, and the initial concern with granting google this access is already subsumed in your general paranoia.

#30be aware, at least in Chrome, once you give teachablemachine.withgoogle.com permission to use you camera, unless you revoke that permission is has permission to use your camera without further permission including from iframes. In other words every ad from and analytics from Google could start injecting camera access. I wish chrome would give the option to only give permission "this time" and I wish it didn't allow c…

Of course I'm not suggesting Google would actually do that but some other company might make seeamazingcamerameme.com to get users to turn on there camera for that domain and then after that make iframes for seeamazingcamerameme.com/spy
