Is there a demo somewhere? It seems like the perfect thing to put in the center of that page.

Edit: I found https://sanderdesnaijer.github.io/map-gesture-controls/examp...


Nice. Just a thought: It would be cool if you could control your TV with (robust) hand gestures like this!


Requiring an always on camera waiting for a hand signal?


Sure? Does it necessarily need to be internet-connected?

Are there any motion detection camera's that are privacy-focused?


so not only does it record what you say, not only does it snapshot what you watch, but it also snapshots what you do and how you look!


Very cool concept. I’d love to see the controls reach spacemouse style movements. The right hand gestures could pair really well with more natural 3D navigation


Got to say I was hoping for a phone browser compatible demo


Now we need some unnecessarily large, transparent monitors and we've achieved 2054-era Minority Report.
