High Sign is an application that allows users to easily create and map custom gestures to perform common actions on their Windows PC. Unlike some other mouse gesture recognition software, the user is not limited to a set of predefined gestures. They are free to create any gesture they can think up. The gesture recognition engine was written from scratch and was designed to focus on maximum recognition accuracy with a minimum sample set (typically one (1) sample is all that's required to reliably identify a gesture).

It seems now a days that heat maps are everywhere, from visitor mouse tracking on your website, to geographic density mapping. Heat maps are earning this well deserved deployment primarily do to the fact that they are a powerful visualization tool for three dimensional data (two for plotting, one for density) and nearly everyone has seen them depicted in movies.

C# (See-Sharp) that is.

I'd like to welcome you to my personal blog DylanVester.com. I am Dylan Vester.
