What’s better than a touch interface? A touchless one! Apple introduced a multitouch screen to phones, now Microsoft is bringing NO touch interface. Sounds cool, but you might think this is a future technology and you won’t see it in your local BestBuy anytime soon, right? Well, guess what! You don’t even have to go to that store if you have a webcam. All you need is a webcam for this touchless sdk to work. Jump for a cheesy informative demo video.
Let’s wait and watch. Over the next couple of months there should be a boat-load of applications coming out from the community. (May be I’ll make one myself. The SDK looks pretty easy to use.)
From Microsoft to Apple: TAKE THAT!
I love thee Microsoft. I always have. It’s just the darn Windows OS that sucks. Everything else you make, blows my mind. Here’s another wonderful technology come out from Microsoft R&D. I hope this stuff and more things like it, actually make it to the masses. Most of the things produced at Microsoft Research is rarely visible in consumer market at consumer-friendly prices. C’mon MS, figure this out and make us all happy.
I give my Two Thumbs Up (whatever they’re worth) for this innovation.
