Continuing the trend of Kinect doing awesome things in everything but video games, take a look at this web browser thatâs been built specifically for Microsoftâs motion-sensing camera.
Itâs called SwimBrowser. Sounds like a stupid name until you see it in action, because âswimmingâ is exactly what youâre doing as you gently wave and roll your arms around to navigate the web.
While something like will never replace the speed and accuracy of a mouse on something like a desktop, on living room equipment â like consoles or TV sets â this would be the perfect way to quickly check IMDB, get a weather update or check out a YouTube video.
Itâs got pretty much everything you need working except for text input, which wasnât specified as part of the challenge this was put together for. That said, throwing in something like a consoleâs âchatpadâ interface (or even this) should work just fine.
