More going on with Input

11Jun08

Techcrunch covered Camspace today, they are a group that has created an application that allows nearly any ordinary PC webcam to track up to four objects, as small as 5mm, in real-time with high accuracy and reliability, also locking and tracking (X,Y,Z control) is automatic.  I have mentioned similar efforts here before, however the exciting news here is that this innovation is growing and spreading around the globe. It is clear that developers are showing a heightened interest in input beyond the keyboard and mouse.  Making this technology affordable and accessible is the first step to going broad with this innovation. The next step in advancement will be building applications and creating compelling content that will cater to these new forms of input.  Games and multimedia will most likely be the focus of early applications but what will be next?
