Here's another bunch of links for your viewing pleasure. Under the current meteorological conditions we wonder who would consider looking at screens, because, you know, real life takes over sometimes, especially when it is so nice outside, at least in our neighborhood.

Microsoft Kinect Learns to Read Hand Gestures, Minority Report-Style Interface Now Possible
Kinect allows to track the body's posture as you move around, but until now it couldn't track the fine hand movements. Now it has that ability and that opens up a whole world of new applications.
LighTouch
An Arduino, music shield and an ultrasonic rangefinder are the basis of this clever music player that - again - uses hand gestures to control the volume. Never touch your music player again!
