Touchless Fingers, anyone?

[cybx]

Thanks to Minority Report (the film, that is), Oblong has developed a wireless glove, that thanks to the WiiMote's idea in reality has brought the new 'wireless-touch' systems to the open-wide market of inventions, Due to release some-time after Vienna, M$ wants to integrate the drivers into Vienna before it is released, but Oblong says, unless they get the correct funding, so M$ wants to help quicken the development by investing in it. But it will be by SP1, if not SP2 versions of Vienna when it will be at the right price and popularity (final release), but drivers will be hopefully pre-installed with the help of MicroSoft.
But, Oblong has more plans, gesture tracking and thanks to GestureTek, no gloves will be required either.
With the latest dose of Facial Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, the computer could be interacting with human gestures, instead of human strength on the buttons.
There was the keyboard, replaced with voice recognition.
There was the mouse, replaced with touch-pads, replaced with touch screens, and now wireless touch technology, with improved technology via Gesture control.
Gesture control has been recently been used to control the keyboard (testing purposes, it'd be too hard to do it all the time), to recognise sign language. Thanks to the XBox LiveVision's derivative from the PlayStation 2's EyeToy, helping improve player movements. Enabling the on-screen avatar to pull the same facial gestures as the player.
A WiiMote style suit will still be required for 3D interaction in games, etc.
All you do to control the mouse with the GestureTek is push your finger forward or by tapping the air slightly to click, moving with the finger still slightly forward to drag and pulling the mouse back to release the click. GestureTek is certainly very easy to move, plus it gets people to do exercise, instead of sitting around, pushing buttons during the use on the computer. GestureTek software can manipulate any camera to recognise gestures and requires a 3D camera to understand true movements (forwards and backwards) for clicking, etc although it is compatible via the gesture technology.
GestureTek co-founder Francis MacDougall says the technology will be integrated by a "major PC manufacturer" in the next three months.
At the moment GestureTek is used in business presentations.
GestPoint software and hardware is the trademark of which GestureTek is naming their chain of products under. Of Airpoint tracking products, Overhead tracking products, Interactive Windows products, ScreenXTreme Outdoor Windows, HoloFrame Systems, HoloPoint Systems, Interactive Tables, and GestPoint Indoor Windows.
Although other Gesture software is available, one at the lowest price for webcams is in Logitech webcams.
GestureTek has also invented holographic 2D-laser point sensitive frames for panes of glass for touch screen and 3D camera lasers for touching, touchless.

Nice Post. Don't like the idea though..

[cybx]

Tell that to MSN.

[yash_qwe]

lol MSN has win 7 posts now interesting
i thought Microsoft would keep it info down for 1 or 2 years

[cybx]

Well, how'd we know about the D6 conference if it wasn't for MSN and MSDN?

[Mr ViennaX]

Microsoft do that on purpose, just teasers basicly.

[cybx]

I know.

[yash_qwe]

i knew that i as just testing u

[Mr ViennaX]

Yes you did, or you didnt and trying to cover up...
