Basically. it allows you to constrol games via your hands, due to object tracking through webcam.
Currently, it only supports flash games that are in the list.
It's 100% free. All it requires is windows xp/vista/7 and a webcam that gets atleast 30fps.

Motion tracking is terrible and awkward. Physical controls forever.

Not motion tracking, more like color tracking :P

I can't see gamers choosing to "wave their hands at a camera" over a keyboard and mouse/joystick.

Well I got this homebrew thing for my DS that lets me use it to cotrol my PC. Neat, right?

Nope.

I somehow doubt this thing is working yet.

D3ATH · January 13, 2010, 07:33:31 AM

I'll try this with my laptop. :D

Madmitten · January 13, 2010, 10:15:41 AM

I will never kiss my keyboard goodbye
maybe my mouse but never my keyboard

It works quite well on some games, but others I can't figure out what exactly I have to do.
Also my laptop's camera range is quite small so I always end up moving the object out of camera sight. :c

But it's a neat program.

Now all we need is a treadmill for the fat kids on Wow and you've sadly got something going for you.
I know of a guy who made a video of him actually converting a bike and treadmill parts to actually physically run in Wow. It was hilarious to watch him puff and pant after a couple minutes. It was called "RL race across Azeroth" or "can you run as far as your WoW character"

Sadly, any video link I've found is to the same Youtube video that has already been removed by the author. Bummer. :(

I want less effort, not more! Once they get mind-controlled stuff maybe, just maybe, I'll give up my mouse and keyboard.

The only thing I ever use Wii for is arcade rail shooters, and the only thing I'd ever use Natal for is a decent fighting game. Other than that, it's all gimmicky and I'd prefer buttons.
