Gesture controlled website by Kerala Tourism

Kerela Tourism- Way to go!


Kerela tourism came up with something really interesting- a gesture controlled website!

How it works?

1. You goto when-it-rains.com on your chrome browser and you'd see this-


2. Click on "Enter" and allow webcam permission when Chrome asks you for permission and there you are!- A website you can control through hand gestures- you can scroll through the pages- up, down, right and left using your hands as a signal. Try it out- its pretty neat!














The webcam picks up signals and gestures and the website operates.

While its a simple implementation of "gesture control technology", the possibilities of this are endless.

1. Imagine signaling your laptop to play the next track while lying down in your bed .
2. Move around and gesture your laptop to change slides while you make that important presentation.
3. Gesture through a YouTube playlist to find the right video.
4. and of course gaming- umpteen possibilities there.

Really excited to see this coming from Kerela tourism- this sure would give them a lot of PR.

Cheers
Abhishek
