Virtual Paintball

005/365

Ever hear about the hunting website in Texas that was shut down? Users were able to hunt live animals, from their computer, with a gun that was controlled by their mouse?

Yes, I agree, it's pretty gnarly.

Check it out though, let's do it humanely and shoot humans. With paintballs!

Set up a warehouse, loaded with mouse controlled guns and a couple morons running a course. Users pay per hour to sit on their computer and shoot who ever they can. Vote your favorite celeb in for charity. Nominate your mother-in-law. Go in and dodge bullets shot from your friends mice.

Microsoft Kinect but not.

004/365

Write a software program that utilizes a computer's webcam to allow the user to do simple operations with hand gestures i.e. browser or desktop navigation.

This would be a kin to Sony Kinect but starting with simple movements for example hand motion right to left is back and up/down is scroll page.

One would assume this is being or has been developed already.

Obstacle: I'm sure this may come with a bit of a hesitance for users not willing to have their webcam on continually, tracking their every motion.
