| Latest Kinect hack lets you check your bank account with gestures Posted: 25 Oct 2011 04:02 AM PDT You probably know that Kinect can do all sorts of things, and with the release of Kinect software developer kit to the public, we were sure that we would see some interesting solutions, and now we have one of those solutions that lets us check our bank account with Kinect.
Lithuanian software developer Etronika has developed a new Kinect-based, motion-activated user interface for banking purposes. For the first time in order to navigate through your bank account you'll just have to swing your hands, and in order to view more information you just have to clap your hands and that's it. Of course, Etronika wants to take the limits even further and they plan to implant voice control along with facial recognition in the future. With this hack, checking your bank account is fun and innovative, but you should know that although this new interface is fun, it's not as fast as the standard interface that includes both mouse and keyboard.
