he's using a wii-mote. i mean really, who isn't these days?
demo is awesome, a bit repetitive. i wonder if touch technology will ever compensate for those wonderfully quick keyboard shortcuts that we've all come to love. afterall, i don't just want to throw the picture aside after i imperfectly resize it six different ways... i want to alt-f4 that b*tch.
The technology to do this is actually pretty simple. I suspect it's doing pretty basic image processing that looks for blobs of bright objects, in this case, his hands and his face. The reason he's making fists is likely that the algorithm probably doesn't work so well with outstretched fingers. Once it finds the blobs, it just has to track their position and velocity over time.
I'm glad you got my joke... i guess i should've said something about the iphone, then it woulda been really funny.
It looks like a sweet device, and I envy your internship. i can't wait until i can stand in front of my computer like a conductor and tom cruise my way through pictures, videos and maps of the world (that was a minorty report reference, in case you missed it).
i hope the integration of these types of tehnologies are affordable and quickly implimented. and i hope theyre able to break the glass cealing of simple gestures and GUIs since this type of interface seems to lack complexity and user-controlled exactitude.

The phone has 256MB of RAM and a 1GHz processor, which do the job reasonably well, though the Anna interface will likely leave something to be desired for many smartphone users.

I'm one of the interns there and I can promise you, it is not a wii-mote. Doesn't even look remotely white.
