Kinect Finger Recognition For Games

I have been hacking my kinect recently to be able to mix reality and virtual words.

By distinguishing between an open palm and a closed fist, we are able to recognize a “grab” gesture that can be used to control games which involve a drag-and-drop mechanic. In this video, we describe the approach and show how it can be used in games, including drawing shapes and controlling the puzzler World of Goo, in which you drag-and-drop balls of goo to build a structure.

More on kinecthacks. Will this be like the leap (due feb 2013)?
