Control Your PC With A WebCam

We hear about advancements in technology every day. News of advancements in fields such as image recognition do reach our ears but the technology itself rarely directly affects us. Until today.

Today we explore Viacam.

Viacam is a straightforward program that uses face detection technology to move your mouse pointer in the direction you move your head.  Your movements are detected by a webcam which Viacam recognizes easily. The setup file is merely ~2.5 MB large and you can have it downloaded and installed in a jiffy.

Viacam, apart from having a lot fun, can come in handy especially when there is no mouse available and you need to move the pointer. Such practical application of image recognition technology is what makes life easier and more fun for all of us.
