    Is there any program out there for windows 7 where I can control my laptop with my finger and a webcam?

    I would imagine it's similar... I'm not too sure. I don't use these types of things, or I didn't even know they existed!

    Which one? The one Joel linked to? That one didn't work for me. Anyway, this is interesting. Wouldn't mind playing around with a working program like this just for the fun of it.

    I had a webcam app that allowed me to play volleyball using head gestures once. It was fun (and pretty funny to watch others play it)....
