Amazing, works very well.

I assume it is looking for 5 fingers. I noticed if i folded my thumb in, it did not recognize the gesture so maybe an edge case where people missing fingers can't use this.

Also when I scratched my face briefly it did recognize it... funny.

I would strongly recommend trying to build a web demo somewhere down the line. Even if it requires flash to get the webcam working, I'm sure your conversions would go through the roof if you could show how well it worked instantly on your landing page.

Small note -- the blurring of the image is distracting rather than focusing. Down the line maybe think about a better landing page image.

Just tried this: 4 fingers with my thumb tucked across my palm worked fine for me.
