MICROSOFT ‘S DIGITS ALLOWS COMPUTER INTERACTION WITH HAND GESTURES
Microsoft’s
research lab in Cambridge, UK has developed a new way to interact with the
digital world using intuitive hand gestures. “Digits” uses 3 different IR
cameras to track the positions of fingers with respect to each other.
One
of the applications for this technology includes 3-D special interaction with a
mobile device. By assigning gestures to certain functions, the user could
conceivably control any aspect of a device. This also allows for vision free
control of the device. In example used in Microsoft’s video, they assigned the
“thumbs up” to answer an incoming call.
Other
applications include sign language interpretation and endless possibilities for
gaming. Could this be the new controller for XBox 720? Guess we will have to
wait to find out.
