Operating networked devices through natural gestures
// June 23rd, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Networking, opencv, Technology, Thirdimension
Recently I performed a little experiment in combing couple of libraries. My first experiment involves a networked implementation of different applications (device IDs interms of hardware) in time and space. I used MPE and OF to do that and running java server in the back. I wish to combine this with natural gestures to create a small experiment similar to GSpeak which was done at MIT. My intentions are to get rid of gloves. Purely natural gestures without any color caps or gloves. Computer vision has surely come to a point where it can do accurate computation based on patters and depth of any given matter(object).

To end with a quote from Albert Einstein on the definition of time
“Time is the interval between two thoughts”. I could notice this through the experiment that I did.
Lets say first OSC message represent 1st thought and 2nd osc message represents the second. What if I closed the application before second osc message executes? The other two screens will freeze leaving only partial space into existence. The actual definition of time no more exists.
