In this post I would like to explore embodied ways on how one could interact with a visual stream. More specifically, this is about controlling the flow of a video stream with one own's body movements.
The system I am using is based on Microsoft's Kinect camera. On the computer side I am using the Quartz Composer to connect different streams of information on the one side body related parameters and on the other parameters related to the video stream.
In the following video, I am showing a simple situation where the movie is controlled by vertical movements of my hand.
