lol, yes, i just wanted to be a little provocative on the title :)

touchless is not going to be a mouse or multitouch killer, but there are scenarios where the ability to interact "physically" from a distance can be handy.

also it's quite intuitive and natural: normally people need just 1 sec to figure out how to use "touchless toys": they wave their hands, they smile and they' re done.

I want to interface it with tbeta when i have some time. that would definetly open interesting possibilities.

So, what Linux distro are you using?

Great work!

I have to say though, touchless is not better than multitouch. It's non-intuitive, not natural, and hard to use. It may 'look' cooler, but it's definitely not more efficient and effective than direct manipulation (multitouch).
