Rube Goldberg devices are great, this method of remote control reminds me of one of those devices. There sure are better and simpler methods of sending commands from one computer to the next however none would be as crazy as this idea (I mean that in a good way). "This system allows remote control (via the internet) of actuators (motors, etc) at your home. It works by sensing changes in brightness at particular locations on your home computer screen (locations at which the sensors are taped). These changes in brightness are remotely controlled by you via a yahoo messenger webcam video feed between your work computer and your home computer." Via: Hack a Day |

Fun idea… But just don’t use this for anything critical. An error message on the screen or a screensaver could really mess things up…

At the heart of the system is a webcam, a flashlight, and some photoresistors that detect changes in brightness on the screen they’re so elegantly affixed to. To change that brightness, you simply shine the flashlight at the area the webcam is pointed to, which relays the image back to the aforementioned PC via Yahoo Messenger which, in turn, activates a series of motors that can be used to perform a variety of tasks.
