This software provides a 2D gesture-based extension to the standard user interface, allowing users to interact with their device using intuitive and natural hand gestures.
WayV works by assigning different actions to shapes that are inputted via the mouse. For instance, by drawing the letter B, the "b" key is sent to your Xterm; while drawing the letter C will launch xcalc, and drawing the letter N will start up Netscape, among others. Setting up the software to recognize gestures and associate them with specific actions is easy, thanks to its user-friendly interface.
As soon as the system recognizes the intended gesture, it matches it to the associated action, such as opening a program or sending keypresses. The gestures are created via a two-dimensional input device, usually the mouse. It is important to note that the gestures should be symbolic representations of the actions they represent. For example, drawing a circle to open Opera or tracing > to switch between desktops.
Overall, wayV is a useful software that allows you to experiment with gesture-based computing and easily customize your actions to your preferred way of interacting with your computer.
