#2This is really awesome, although a bit spastic at times. I'm not sure if this is the proper way to use this concept, but I could see how this concept could be used in similar fashions for setting settings. Like set it once, and then have that size apply to whole site or something. Either way, never clever idea, and well done! :)

#3Brilliant! Couldn't get it running in FF, but works like a dream in Chrome.
Very useful for interfaces which may run on, say, a TV. Knowing the physical size, or the viewport dimensions, doesn't tell you how far away the user is.

I was going to comment to say the same thing. I've been playing Dust 514 on my PS3 recently, it's enjoyable but most of the text is too small for me to read comfortably, if they could detect a player being sat further away and increase it then it'd make life a lot easier.
Definitely a cool concept.

#5Great idea, however you should use a transform rather than font-size, so the line breaks won't change.

#6Cool idea but it just blew up the font to an unreadably huge size for me. Using an external camera mounted on the monitor in front of me.

#7This is really slick. I think it'd be great as a browser plugin so I could use it almost like an accessibility tool on sites with horrid typography. It seems better than cmd++.

#8This is awesome. The algorithm seems to have some trouble with glasses and headphones, but works pretty well otherwise. It's such a simple idea, and with the new web technologies becoming widespread, I expect that we will see more of this sort of thing in the future.
