    <description><![CDATA[Many computers have a webcam. Movement recognition technologies have progressed in the last years (as in the EyeToy series). However, no operating system has still implemented this interface with the user.<br /><br />Obviously, this kind of interface is not precise enough to provide a detailed control, but could be quite useful in some fields. For instance, it would be a great option to control document viewers, multimedia players, multimedia centers, and it also has many applications in gaming.<br /><br />As this technology is quite new, it could be a great way to provide an additional value that other operating systems do not offer. New users could be attracted by this technology, and experienced users could use it in the applications they develop.<br />

  <description><![CDATA[What we really need is integration of something like Freetrack or TrackIR 4. <br /><br />That would allow full headtracking throughout the OS with a webcam with the IR filter removed, and a trackclip pro/IR LED.]]></description>
