Oh hai! Have you considered bee 4 biz (do a google search)? its url locker that pays every time someone does your survey and unlocks your locked link. A sister of mine earns a lot of cash with them just asking everyone to do surveys.
instead of spending money on risky motion tracking technology, they should improve speech recognition first ! i want to be free to move my body and scratch my fucking nose when it itches.
we should be talking to our computers and telling them exactly what we want. because "moving" will cause too many inconvenients !
what happens if i sneeze ? it will reply my UNFINISHED mail to everybody ? come on ! this cannot be compared with tactile interaction.
Sure Microsoft fanbois, Google got pawned, yeah, whatever. This has restored your self-esteem, good 4u. The orig joke was funny (to me, don't be offended) because the simple fact is that 99% of Kinect hack videos are dumb. When you'll browse the web with Kinect full time, then we'll talk about pawnage.
@beardymonger Google is really pawned. Soon Microsoft will release an official SDK so there will be millions of kinect-software avaible. And maybe i'l create a kinect-webbrowser. Together with Dragon Naturallyspeaking (which supports more languages then Windows speech-to-text), it should work very well. I'l keep that in mind...
@coleo101101101 i know it works, i'm just saying it's not something you would actually use, it's super impractical and useless, it was just made to get back at google :P
Lol try sending a text like that when your stood on a crowded train on your daily commute. This is a useless technology for everyday use. Why make something as easy as texting require a pc and sensor and six feet of space.....
Can we make this work for sign language instead of hand movements? that way people could talk to deaf people and type on the computer without a keyboard. also we would need a program to teach sign language or at least the basics.
I'm sure that is possible. This was more of a way to apply the gestures that Google Motion said was to be used (to prove a point and to make an April Fools joke a reality.)
Must have been a slow day at the office, funny way to kill time. Using the thumb& index finger to send Morse code would be the way to go. I don't have a clue if the Kinect can sense such a fine resolution, speed or not, but it could send faster than some can text or even type.
Great reply to google jokes. I don't think the idea is ridiculous, although some gestures are funny. I would like to have this feature in my computer.
@bubblecup18 It's a response to Google making "Gmail Motion", which was an April fools joke about Gmail utilizing body motions to control Gmail. These guys made it real.
@nkamal2007 I dont think its indians... Anyone who aint aware of tech side of things will be impressed. If you have gaming console's based on motion, this technology is pretty much out there known and tested. These guys are just toying with application of something which is out there. Thats not research.
Ahh.. sorry for the babble. The comments just pissed me off. Google is indulging in lighter side of things on a laid back day and I see comments saying.. Google has it in the face.
@MastaSquide I don't get your point man. And spare me your slander. Its Microsoft Kinetic they are playing with. All I am saying its nothing new or out of the world. Its an understood technology. Its just a great attempt at making something completely lame and useless stuff. Plus its out on 1st April. Why can this guys be not fooling around?
These guys missed the google's point. Its lame and thats why an april fool's prank.
motion sensors cannot actually detect specific motions. They can only detect motion PERIOD. A motion sensor cannot tell what motions you are making. Only on, or off.
Using SLOOOW, a Kenic, and one of the established sign languages would allow you to make coherent (though less humorous) messages. It would also be a great way to get more people to learn sign language.
@LouKolodner unfortunately the Kinect lacks the resolution necessary to see movement in different fingers, which is required in sign language. (the original prototype had a much higher resolution, but they had to put cheaper cameras and sensors to make more profit.
Hahah, that is hilarious, but I can believe it. Googles not the only ones trying to make it happen. I bet they were surprised when they saw this. Thinking forward. I wonder what the motion for a hook up would be?!
why dont you take it seriously ? if you create the software why dont you develop it? for example with body language from plp that can not hear or speak. That could be a real develop! (my english is not so perfect)
@carlos55524685551379 I notice a horizontal display behind him, but I didn't recognize it as a giant anything. Heck I have never seen a normal sized iPod Touch. I'm on the backside of 50& my lifestyle doesn't require a mp3 player, so I'm not looking for them. I'm on disability income & I wouldn't be looking at apple products anyway
Rather than coming up with a new set of gestures for people to learn, why not use ASL (American Sign Language)? It's a pre-exsisting gesture based language that would not only give the small community of people that use ASL a larger voice, but also teach the everyday user an new language and way to communicate.
Fantastic idea. Simple, but I never thought of that. This should REALLY become a standard when gestures become a more prominent aspect of our daily lives.
@darrellwhitchcock Totally agreed! It would definitely give us more voice and more people would be able to know ASL, and that will translate into a society that is naturally bilingual. We need to catch up to Europeans with their multilingual culture. heh
@darrellwhitchcock Good idea, but would that translate quite as well, when using computers, i.e would computers be able to pick up every gesture, as that language was designed for someone to see, not a computer to capture via camera.
@darrellwhitchcock I think there's already a lot of work going on to do just that, it definitely makes sense. In this case, they were just taking advantage of Google's April Fools to crack a joke back at them with their own (purposely humorous) gestures :)
I dont see how this can be useful at all when we email people and have a conversation with them. This just lets people send basic email and words. I thought that we could use it and say much more then basic hello and stuff like that.
