Surfing the net with your hands and mouth
I've seen some pretty cool Flash sites out there but I think this one has to be one of the most innovate. Web designer Andreas Lutz has created his portfolio site using Flash and utilizing your computer's webcam and microphone to let you surf his site without need for a mouse. You use your hands to make gestures that the webcam tracks and you can use speech. It's freakin' amazing!
When you go onto the site all you first have to do is some simple calibrations and then you're ready to start speaking and waving your hands to surf his site. He created a cool video to show you how it works. (See below)
And here's his site: http://www.andreaslutz.com/

Hi readers!
I'm a Graphic Designer in New York City (Brooklyn!). NY is a hub for design and my posts will try to focus on, but will not be limited to, design related things happening in NY, such as museum exhibits, architecture, events, local artist interviews, galleries, etc. I'm very much into technology and art and how they intersect to make multimedia art installations. Hope you enjoy my posts!

i tried this on my mac. Looked cool at first but you have to perfectly align yourself and sometimes you go out of the camera alignment and it's a pain. When you say "w" it DOES NOT take you back to the main page. When you want to see the "designs" page it goes to it then opens up a new window exiting out of the full screen and making you click to go back in.
It's a good idea, just needs improvement and fixing it's glitches.
...but it's not the first site with such innovations...
this is the best website idea i've ever seen!!!
i just wish i could get it to work... maybe it's cause i'm on a mac..?
really cool website... and great project. ^^v
bit of a let down i couldn't get my camera to work. same macbook as used in the video... but no luck.
Sounds really cool but I can't get it to work properly. I've got a 2008 Macbook Pro so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
strange. Didn't work for me. Macbook pro should work
True...didnt work on my Macbook Pro either. must be an issue with flash or internal camera.
really great idea, but it's not working :/
Didn't work with me neither. I'm using an iMac.
But only the webcam actually.
Strange....
couldn't get it to work either.
Unfortunatly I could not get this to work, my computer must be screwed up. But i LOVE the idea and im glad there is a video. This is HUGE for the future of web design and computers in general. can you imagine an entire computer controlled by the users body!
Doesnt work for me either, any suggestions? Sitting on a Macbook Pro.
didn't work for me, shame really wanted to try it!
The website is awesome
I stumbled across this site earlier this week - it's just stunning. I feel like I'm in the Minority Report or something!!
Woooow! i can navigate whit voice but not whit the cam of my macbookpro, its awesome! very nice
From reading your comments, i was wondering.. Maybe the website doesnt really support mac yet.. Sure he was using a macbook, but it might be booted with Windows instead, just thought i'd share my thoughts! :)
