USC Institute for Creative Technologies used sensor to send messages "application controlled".

(CNN) - perhaps he is not mad as there thinking of Google.
As part of its annual dam of April Fools' day of trouble, Google last week "Announces" the beta version of motion Gmail.
The spoofed fictitious feature the advent of technologies of sensor movement games and other digital fields, leaving so-called users to type and send an e-mail with a series of speed often silly full body movements.
The response of the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies? Why stop with just a joke?
In a video posted on YouTube, members of the Institute, which specializes in interactive digital media, shows a system that quite well what described the gag of Google.
The project uses the sensor system of the Kinect from Microsoft for the Xbox game.
Of course the project is also done with tongue firmly in cheek. Taking its name, the library required optimization software waving (SLOOW).
"This application is fairly ridiculous," reads the text at the end of the video, which had been seen over 230 times of Monday afternoon. "However, the software powering it is real."
The name is based on the system real group MxR (Mixed Reality) of the Institute used to create - the Flexible Action and articulated skeleton Toolkit or FAAST.
In the video, the researcher Evan Suma imitates parody of Google video queries. It opens the e-mail message with a motion similar to a book of initiation. It responds to a message by jerking a thumb over his shoulder and sends a - ridiculously - go through the motions of lick a stamp and stick on a letter.
"I can't keep a ridicule," Suma, explains, out in laughter as he waves at the end of the video.
Thus, a way of making email as difficult as a game of volleyball and as silly-research as mime school became a reality.
Now, can someone get to work on "angry Nerds"?
