UK-based photographer Andrew Whyte specializes in dramatic light art and long exposures of the night sky, but some of his most striking work involves helping an inch-high fellow photographer get a good shot. For over a year, Whyte has been shooting what he calls the "Legography" series, starring a Lego minifig with a bulky black camera and a penchant for exploration.

Even then, the algorithms are only about 80% accurate. You get the gist of it though:  A flick of the hand in mid-air changes the slide. A two hand flick up or down activates the slide overview. Tips and troubleshooting in the slides below (you can still use the keyboard or reveal.js's built in controls)
