In doing some “research” for the review of the EyeToy I ran across an open-source project trying to bring the same functionality to the PC with any ordinary webcam. The program, which is not yet quite complete, works by using an ordinary glove to control the mouse arrow on the PC screen, with certain gestures indicating whether to open or move the application, or any number of other features. While the wearer must wear a kitchen glove to control the mouse, it’s an interesting project that could lead to a whole lot of interesting projects and games.
