Looks cool! I once tried something similar and released it as a reveal.js plugin:

But I just used the WebcamSwiper-Lib.

Maybe you could try to package it as a Plugin too - so there would be no need for a fork.

This is pretty amazing – seems to just work. Probably quite dependant on the webcam though. Remember to move your hand above/below the screen before swiping else you'll swipe back and forwards all the time!

Alternatively, you can move your hand back fast enough for it not to register.

I really don't get the comparison to Kinect at the beginning, since this is _just_ a simple motion detector and the only fun thing is the execution environment.
