Oh boy, oh boy. I've been waiting for something like this.

I can scarcely believe it took them this long to come up with.

To send a message make a motion of licking a stamp and sticking it down. Brilliant!

Watching the video made me laugh for serious.

I'm a huge fan of Google's April Fools' Day gags. They put a lot of effort into them.

Gmail for the Wii ?

A Kinect would probably be better, though libfreenect has potentially the worst documentation now...

This morning, Google introduced Gmail Motion, allowing users to control Gmail using gestures and body movement. However, for whatever reason, their application doesn't appear to work. So, we demonstrate our solution - the Software Library Optimizing Obligatory Waving (SLOOW) - and show how it can be used with a Microsoft Kinect sensor to control Gmail using the gestures described by Google.
