Gmail Motion, the feature use body gestures to compose and send emails in Gmail? It was an April Fools joke, but now it’s real by Institute of Creative Technologies.
The technology is jokingly dubbed SLOOW (Software Library Optimizing Obligatory Waving ) and it uses a Microsoft Kinect camera to control Gmail. Same team also used technology, Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST), to play World of Warcraft using body motions only in December 2010.
It works pretty much as Google had intended: by using body gestures you can type text into Gmail and send an email by “licking” the stamp and slapping it onto an imaginary envelope. Check out the video below for a demonstration.
