This week’s GoToMeeting allowed us to learn about a free program called FluidTunes. Matt demonstrated this for us, as you can see on his screen once I gave him control of the GoToMeeting.

FluidTunes gives you control over your music using only a camera, and your hands, head or feet. Swipe your hand from left to right or right to left over the screen center to scrub. Wave quickly at buttons to activate them. Without using a keyboard or mouse, you can navigate through your music and play or pause songs.

FluidTunes is very visual. I’ve heard about this before, but I haven’t had a chance to play with it at all. This was the first time that I’ve been able to even see much about what it’s about. It’s based upon spatial interaction with your computer. It takes that concept and plugs it into your iTunes library. You can visually browse your library, and make changes and choices just by moving parts of your body.

I gotta say it – how fricken cool is this? It’s just amazing to see something like this. Admit it, did you think even a few years ago that something like this would ever be possible? Heck, you can even use your head to go through your library instead of your hands. Matt says it’s actually quite practical, not just something to show off with.

Also, Matt says that software like this may be very helpful when using a home theater pc, such as during a party. You don’t have to fight over the remote control. You can show off to your friends and family. It’s just something very cool, fun and interesting to try out. Why not try it today – it’s free!

Don’t forget that GoToMeeting can be used for all of your telecommunication needs. It can save you time, money and energy. Why travel across town (or the country!) when you can sit in the comfort of your own home and stay connected visually.
