Gesture interfaces<\/strong> are nothing new. They come alive once in a while with a use of new technologies. Technologies used<\/strong> so far were cameras<\/strong> (regular, depth, stereo), sound<\/strong> in a way (like clapping sound switches (Wikipedia)<\/a> for switching on and off the light) or different wearable controls<\/strong> like glows. While cameras have been long used for research of gestural interfaces, they are also moving to consumers products (remember Toshiba’s TV from 2008 (video on You Tube)<\/a>). Researchers at MIT turned the whole TV into a camera<\/a>. The same lab developed also the wearable Sixth Sense (video on You Tube)<\/a>. But these are only a few products in a sea of gestural interfaces.<\/p>\n

Now there’s a new way to track user’s movement with ultrasound<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There’s certainly the market for gestural interfaces<\/strong> like video games for example or some short termed interactions (Dart Vader uses gestural movement to strangle people<\/a> – why is he using his hands if he can do it with his minds anyway?). But there are still some problems<\/strong> that haven’t been answered or overcame yet:<\/p>\n
