Scroll Web Pages with Hand Gestures using AudioScroll Extension
AudioScroll Extension is a free Chrome add-on that allows users to scroll through web pages using hand gestures. This innovative extension utilizes a doppler speaker/microphone process to detect hand movements and translate them into scrolling actions.
Once the extension is enabled, a tone is emitted through the speaker and picked up by the microphone. By moving your hand towards or away from the microphone, you can compress or decompress the sound waves slightly, which are then detected and used to scroll the page accordingly.
To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to unplug any headphones and set the speaker volume to loud. Additionally, when prompted, be sure to allow microphone access for the extension to function properly.
While AudioScroll Extension offers a unique and convenient way to navigate web pages, it does have a known bug. Sometimes, when multiple pages are running AudioScroll, a lower frequency tone can be heard. To resolve this issue, simply disable and re-enable the extension a few times.
With AudioScroll Extension, scrolling through web pages becomes a hands-free and intuitive experience, making it a valuable tool for users looking for alternative navigation methods.
