It seems to be working pretty well, but I have really good lighting around here. But 20% usage and the fact it doesn't always works makes this a cool hack, nothing more.

Thx for your kind feedback. Pls make sure your hand is 1-6 feet away and it should work. Even our tests it works fairly well in diff lighting but I am sure you guys will let us know. On avg it uses about 5% of CPU - 20-30%% when doing gestures and 2-3% when not. With all due respect, the cool hack now has 4.5M+ gestures used to Play/Pause songs and 100s of thousands of users... so perhaps we may be on right track. Thanks for appreciate the hard work of fellow developers!

  Don't get passive aggressive with the haters. Doesn't make you look good.. FWIW, early adopter here and I love the app. The only thing that makes me turn it off occasionally is the false positives from when I'm just touching my face. If you could fix that, you're golden!

    Ok, thanks for letting us know! Are you still seeing false detections on the new version? Would you please try it with new version? This is one of those things where we will keep getting closer to 100% as we improve... working hard everyday to improve it!

      So far the new version seems to have improved on this. I can't get to the gesture tutorial though, perhaps because of the upgrade from the first version to the App Store version? P.S. Are you planning to add a thumbs up gesture to favorite a song? ;)

  I'm sorry if my post sounded 'offensive'. I just don't think that in five years we're going to control our computers using webcams. They are just not made for that. I'm still getting 20%, on 2012 Air. Maybe you should try it on a cheaper machine.

    No issues. Thx for it feedback. Who know what will be there in 5 years? We just want solve for hardware that is already ubiquitous. If better cameras become widespread then we will switch to that hardware. Yes, doing this on webcam is incredibly difficult but if we can do it then it can really improve HCI. We just thought its worth trying. Thanks. Appreciate your candid feedback.
