camera as input device? eyetoy has shown that the digital camera can provide an invisible interface, and hence much fun for a mixed range of abilities and needs. washing windows**, playing tennis.... Is there an open source effort around assessing gesture through digital camera? Shouldn't w3 be sponsoring such a technical development? issues directly relevant to DI include there may be a requirement for multiple pointers, as we frequently use both hands together.... ie traffic policeman, etc and of course there is the social avatar and networked communities. I'm particularly interested in the cross-over with SVG and the web. Such a device will have particular relevance for accessibility and people with a range of disabilities* regards Jonathan Chetwynd http://www.peepo.co.uk "It's easy to use" irc://freenode/accessibility *I was lucky enough to witness one of the very first demos of eyetoy with a group of adults with severe learning difficulties, and I can assure you we never had so much fun! PwLD may have multiple disabilities including poor coordination, aphasia, or poor fine motor skills. **Leaves is an online game we made a few years ago, possibly as a response to seeing 'washing windows': http://www.pmld.org/leaves/
