Hi @matheplica,

For gesture analysis you might be interested by [Wekinator](http://www.wekinator.org). I don’t know if it works with the mouse input but it is probably worth trying.

> Hi @WindJammer, Just brainstorming here but have you considered using [Wekinator](http://www.wekinator.org/) for your project ? It’s a user-friendly and open-source software for creative applications (including gesture analysis) that uses machine learning. They have a [bunch of examples](http://www.wekinator.org/examples/#Processing_animation_audio) you can run within Processing. Basically all you would have to do is to train a classifier via your webcam input in order to recognize a specific pose or gesture ([demo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKyyBAKrQgE)). I haven’t used it yet so can’t say much but I think it could be appro…
