I remember a few years back getting excited at the prospects with using a webcam as an input device. I wasn’t sure how much fidelity of movement it would be able to understand but it was promising when I saw the Minority Cube a few years ago. Now a MS Research practitioner has created an algorithm that looks at the topology of an imagine, recognizes the foreground and background shapes, and maps interaction to the shape of the hand and its movement. Say goodbye to the mouse?
