ICT MxR Lab's Response to Google's Gmail Motion

This morning, Google introduced Gmail Motion, allowing users to control Gmail using gestures and body movement. However, for whatever reason, their application doesn't appear to work. So, we demonstrate our solution - the Software Library Optimizing Obligatory Waving (SLOOW) - and show how it can be used with a Microsoft Kinect sensor to control Gmail using the gestures described by Google. This project uses OpenNI coupled with FAAST and was made by Evan Suma and the folks at Mark Bolas' MxR Lab at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies.

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.
