On avg it uses about 5% of CPU - 20-30%% when doing gestures and 2-3% when not.
With all due respect, the cool hack now has 4.5M+ gestures used to Play/Pause songs and 100s of thousands of users... so perhaps we may be on right track.
Thanks for appreciate the hard work of fellow developers!
I'm still getting 20%, on 2012 Air. Maybe you should try it on a cheaper machine.
Who know what will be there in 5 years? We just want solve for hardware that is already ubiquitous. If better cameras become widespread then we will switch to that hardware.
Yes, doing this on webcam is incredibly difficult but if we can do it then it can really improve HCI. We just thought its worth trying.
Thanks. Appreciate your candid feedback.
FWIW, early adopter here and I love the app. The only thing that makes me turn it off occasionally is the false positives from when I'm just touching my face.
If you could fix that, you're golden!
Would you please try it with new version?
This is one of those things where we will keep getting closer to 100% as we improve... working hard everyday to improve it!
I can't get to the gesture tutorial though, perhaps because of the upgrade from the first version to the App Store version?
P.S. Are you planning to add a thumbs up gesture to favorite a song? ;)
