Minority Report Actionscript Webcam Interface

Expanding on my Actionscript Webcam Motion Detection experiments, I’ve built a rudimentary ‘Minority Report’-inspired interface.

The concept is to create a new type of user interface rebuking the typical peripherals of the keyboard and mouse. Instead, a user would merely stand in front of a wall and control the interface with their movements. I’ve seen other attempts at doing this. See Microsoft Surface, iphone, this thing et. al. All cool for sure, but all done using touch screens. Touch screens are so 2006. Even Tom Cruise used gloves. Pfft. The idea is to free oneself from all physical interface. To use human gestures.

I haven’t tried it properly installed and projected on a wall yet.

You can try it here: actionscript webcam minority report interface (webcam required obv)

Like everything that exists, this is a work in progress.
