Webcam Navigation
I don’t often post up websites here, but having seen this site featured on the FWA I thought it was well worth pointing out.

It’s one of the first websites to give the user the option to navigate through using a webcam as opposed to a mouse or keyboard. Granted it chugs abit, and the paint through water is an old trick, but the webcam navigation works impressivly well. In fact, once you’ve got the hang of sitting in the right spot and waving your hands around in the right fashion, you can’t help feel the Minority Report dream isn’t all that far away!

This is by far the best piece of website conceptual thinking I’ve seen this year. Billy Bussy had this idea of a three dimensional internet years back but now it seems to be reality. The most obvious knock on effect would be that this could potentially eliminate RSI. If a cross compatible platform could be created that could load over the top of any website this could make the mouse redundant within a few year. Design will save the world.
