Free hands multitouch gestures on Ubuntu Unity

[MetalShreader]

someone in canonical please put a patent on this, I have a bad feeling it's going to be stolen.

[zaktmaster]

now imagine this with the kinect

[malemeru]

Damn! I only have one hand :(

[8jwong14]

One question, are the files on teh website still update regularly and are they still begin developed?

[TheFreeVoice]

Looks nice, wil try it soon. Is it also possible to use tuiototouch for input events in the linux kernel on Android?

[RIPOFF65]

The only thing to do now is a Ubuntu how to .I haven't found that yet,not clear instruction..just confusing ones

[LuxXx25]

Is there any program to make this work with windows?

[8jwong14]

@LuxXx25 I doubt it but I'm sure there will be soon considering all those Kinect hacks.  However, you can switch to Ubuntu ;)

Putz... que bacana! Vou tentar fazer no meu tb!

[8jwong14]

Is it possible for people to start using it now if we have the requirements?

[Kandrath]

@8jwong14 Yes it is, this project is opensource, and if you go to the url at the end of the video, you will find an archive containing the sources, and you can start using it.

[8jwong14]

@Kandrath Thanks for telling me.  Now I just need to replace Ubuntu 10.04 with 10.10 on my laptop. Has anyone else tried using this?

[8jwong14]

@Kandrath @Kandrath Thanks for telling me. I shall try it out.

Looks awesome! But I wonder how clicking and typing fit in this setup.

On an unrelated note, it looks like the exact same webcam I already use for video chat is being used in this demo. :) I wonder how easy it would be for me to set this up for myself...

[Kandrath]

@WarriorIng64 Clicking is still an issue, since you can't just make disapear your fingers from the image provided by the camera.

For typing, you can still use your keyboard, or you can use this with a virtual keyboard for instance, but the clinking issue remains.

Linux rocks!

Ubuntu is King!

[TOTUANEC]

what music??

[ivansampa]

:) 

[profpcde]

COOL! :D

[MrSinghsharan]

and i have a webcam.....

[Shnatsel]

Great thing.

How about making the webcam watch the screen, and using the difference between the screen image and the image from the webcam to turn usual display into a multi-touch one?

[Myoh1]

@Shnatsel A good idea, though I have doubts if it's possible with enough performance. Not reccommendable for a vertically mounted screen. It's not ergonomical, and causes the so called 'gorilla arm'.

[Kandrath]

@Shnatsel Actually, there is an alternative to this, using a feature of CCV, which is background learning. You can configure CCV to make it learn the background every x seconds, and it will consider it as the new background, but an issue remains, which is finger recognition in your desktop, because depending of the shape of your window, buttons, CCV can see fingers in it.

What about typing?

[arasbm]

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing this demo.
