Touchless SDK

What’s better than a touch interface? A touchless one! Apple introduced a multitouch screen to phones, now Microsoft is bringing NO touch interface. Sounds cool, but you might think this is a future technology and you won’t see it in your local BestBuy anytime soon, right? Well, guess what! You don’t even have to go to that store if you have a webcam. All you need is a webcam for this touchless sdk to work. Jump for a cheesy informative demo video.

Let’s wait and watch. Over the next couple of months there should be a boat-load of applications coming out from the community. (May be I’ll make one myself. The SDK looks pretty easy to use.)

From Microsoft to Apple: TAKE THAT!
