Gesture Interfaces
Some relatively predictable but still interesting gesture interface technologies from
NE Asia Online:
Toshiba Corp's Human Centric Laboratory developed a wearable remote controller for home electronic appliances that uses biological information. Users can turn lighting on and off simply by putting a device with a sensor on their arm, and point at the lighting with a finger. They can also control the brightness and air conditioning of the lighting by waving their arm up and down. All they will have to wear are an acceleration sensor with X, Y, and Z axes as well as a Bluetooth unit.
Not earth shattering, but it's good to see these products moving toward market.
