Couldn't something like this be implemented with regular hardware? Get 2 cheap £12 web cams and put them 30cm apart and that should be enough to get some spacial information. After that it would be mostly software to detect the motion from someone walking in front of the TV and doing all the "swipes" etc for motion.

Yes, I know. I make it sound easy and it probably isn't as easy as that, but still sounds like a fun project.

I'm lucky to be reading all these posts and not having setup my host yet. I've used SSHblack in the past and it's easy to just make it look at any other logs so I imagine this should work for this as well.

I'm going to keep on reading.

To the devs: Thanks for all the hard work. I'm very impressed and look forward to setthing things up. Maybe once I have more experience with the environment I'll be able to contribute.
