EVENT: Gmail Motion Day!

I was watching TV earlier when my brother excitedly ran down the stairs to tell me that Gmail now has a Gmail motion feature. Lo and behold, there it is!



According to Paul McDonald, Gmail's Product Manager, they've invented a new Gmail feature that allows users to utilize their computer's webcam to track their movements and respond to e-mails accordingly.

Responses include reply, reply to all, compose, send, and archive, among others. Messages can also be typed via movement, including common phrases like yes, no, i love you, how are you, and goodbye.




I mean, how cool is that! Using your own webcam as a motion detector that allows you to write your own e-mail! The guide for popular phrases can be found and printed here.



Of course, it can be as cool as it sounds. I wouldn't want to use my arms and legs and contort it to various positions just to be able to type "yes". LOL. That, and today being April 1, of course, =)

Personally, this is way way better than their previous trick of having my e-mails printed out and sent to my home address.

Way to go Google!
