PC Clapper is a new way to interact with your computer. We all know and love the
Clapper of yore, but who wants to turn on a light when you can shutdown your computer
properly, open a playlist, change tracks, volume up / down, open your homepage,
do pretty much anything with your computer on a user selectable number of claps.
Open your favorite hip hop tracks with 1 clap then volume up with two claps. Open
your favorite news site with 2 claps and close it with 3. You are in bed and forgot
to shutdown, 4 claps will do the trick. The possibilities are endless!
PC Clapper is free for download, all you need is a pc microphone (like 7 bucks on
newegg.com). Program is as-is, please don't redistribute, all rights reserved, no
warranty, yadda yadda. Cool techno tip: for an extremely bad microphone, you can
plug large headphones into the microphone jack and speak into (or clap into) the
left headphone!
The PC Clapper has an extremely simple development kit to download and make your
own plugins for the .Net savvy.
<Techno-babble>
Just inherit the plugin interface, set a couple fields like the author, version,
etc., then implement the Initialize and Execute methods. After that, just build
and put your binary in the plugins folder and restart the PC Clapper
</Techno-babble>.
If this site / program gets enough interest, expect it to grow! Please, if you have
any ideas for plugins, let me know at
paul.caponetti@gmail.com.
Thanks for your interest! Also, thanks to Ianier Munoz at
http://www.chronotron.com/ for the microphone input basic library.
Clap! Clap!
