This sort of thing could be used for 'mousewriting recognition', if you could replicate the gesture for all 26 English characters, lower and upper case, numbers and special characters like . , ! " & $ ? : ' @ etc. Of course, everyone has different writing styles, so it'd be impractical, but an idea all the same!
I don't know many people who would be able to write anything much with the mouse, but it'd be a proof of concept all the same. Wouldn't that be cool?! I hear murmers out there! :-) John Resig wrote: > >> This seemed like an interesting problem so I've attempted to solve it.
