Gestures + Reveal.JS
- hayksaakian 14y agoTwo things I don't like: * multiple directional scrolling * hijacking my back button At least they're trying. I would think you'd need something more sensitive than a normal webcam for gesture detection, so that's a feat in itself.
- DanielRibeiro 14y agoI really think that it was a cool hack by William Walter Wu. When I first saw it I was expecting it to use Leap Motion[1], which made into HN's first page a few days ago[2]. Getting Leap Motion integrated with Chrome would be amazing, because, you are right, the webcam alone does not seem to be precise enough, as the author said: It took me a while to write and fine tune the detection algorithms. Even then, the algorithms are only about 80% accurate [1] https://www.leapmotion.com/ https://www.leapmotion.com/ [2] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5179335 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5179335 and was not the first time: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4250536 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4250536 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4170446 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4170446
- camus 14y agogood experiment but accuarcy more like 10% than 80% , but again cool stuff , can make its effect during a talk in a conference.
- iamrohitbanga 14y agospend half an hour you will get good accuracy.
- RaSoJo 14y agosuper cool. can't wait to scare the pants off people at office >:)
- laurentoget 14y agothe accuracy does not seem to have reached the level where it would be really usable yet. 80% accuracy means every 5th slide the transition goes wrong. but i suspect pouring some machine learning magic dust on this could get it there.
