I did a similar hand gesture recognition software to control image viewer as part of my computer vision course project. It was really fun to do. I believe, presentations and lectures are the places where this kind of technology really makes a lot of difference. Good luck with your startup!

One of the few occasions that I wish I had a mac.

Few questions: Aren't you entering a field which has patents covering gesture controls on media exactly like this?

A comparative advantage of mice and keyboards is that a minor amount of energy, (but large amounts of co-ordination) are leveraged into larger changes. Wont this limit the number of the gesture controls you can incorporate?

(OTOH - if you had enough fidelity, you would just need a dummy keyboard. You would just have to map finger movements with key presses. you could just create a webcam of your own as well.)

I hardly ever get excited after downloading something, maybe a, wow that's cool, but when I installed this (which was very easy) and it just worked, I actually clapped and said 'this is fucking awesome.'

> I actually clapped which kept switching your music off and on?

llol (literally laughed out loud)

Seems to be an encoding error of sorts. I have a norwegian character in my name (Ø), i used switched it for O and the download worked fine.

The app works great, really cool!
