The new Mac OS X app Flutter attempts to bring motion-controls to your Mac – and it does a pretty good job of it, though its current capabilities are unfortunately limited. Reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect or Playstation Move, users can use gestures from up to 6 ft. away that are picked up by your Mac’s webcam to control in-app controls.
But don’t expect platform-like versatility just yet. Currently Flutter is limited to playing/pausing iTunes, Spotify, VLC & Quicktime. But it’s a fun and different way to do so, not to mention highly entertaining for any watching. Future Flutter updates are said to include Windows & Linux versions, and more gesture commands such as skipping songs, volume control and muting..needless to say, the Flutter team is hard at work!
Free Windows Beta version with next song gesture was just released on 1 September, head here to get it. Mac users can get the beta version with next song gesture at https://flutterapp.com/next.
