Simple gesture recognition
We have released our first, very basic prototype of gesture recognition using Flash and AS3. Basically, it uses a simple motion detection algorithm to look for horizontal motion and registers each discrete movement to the left as an event. The idea is that you can fire the event with a wave of your hand, which then triggers some kind of action within the application. At this stage, it’s not all that accurate or robust - you can’t move too fast, or too close to the camera, and even at an ideal distance it seems to miss a movement now and then. But it’s a start towards building a proof-of-concept for gesture recognition in Flash.
