CES 2010; it controls the technology with your hands

Nowadays the technology becomes essential for almost quite, to do the meal, to wash the clothes, to communicate to thousands of kilometers or to change the television with the remote control. Precisely the last one, it has the few days and this is what tries to show the company GestureTek in the International Fair of Electronics of Consumption (CES). This one company develops software for devices that work in answer to the movement.

Other companies as Canesta and Primesense, he tries to compete for the best Software development to receive this Technology that every time is more present between us, As said Cyrus Bamji, chief of technology of Canesta: The competition in the field gestual has become fierce like result of a sudden interest in the technology.

Naturally ésto he makes us think about the Holography 3D and in having around a floating virtual menu to which to control. We all remember the movie “Minority Report“, where Tom was handling the menu with his naked hands and without any gadget between the fingers, since this Technology is not that far and inaccessibly, really already big advances are done and many we already have them in our houses. It is a revolution Gestual where the companies fight for developing the best Hardware with this functionality, but especially that is trustworthy, precise and useful.

In a future the TV sets Hitachi, they will have this well developed technology, and from our couch we will be able to change the channels or light and extinguish the Television by means of the gestures. Also one hopes that the Computers should possess sensors or cameras capable of receiving our movements exactly. And this is one of the most important things, the precision is the one that does that his use is worth it, why of nothing it costs if it is vague or if you have to repeat the movement several times, the perfection in this field is essential.
At present, there are systems that are alike what we speak. For example the Games console Wii, which works by means of hypersensitive control panel of hand that are translated in movement on the screen, with an issuer in the hand and a recipient in the device, this still moves away from our intention.
But there is something even more important, last year appeared in the E3 2009: Microsoft surprised and of that way, with his Project Natal, a video camera of two glasses that receive a three-dimensional angle capable of capturing and of reflecting the movements on screen with many precision and and any issuer does not go above, exactly this hardware captures the movements and updates them 30 times in second, which is not badly at all. I will wait in my couch and remote control, to that this tenología should go out, meanwhile, to keep on buying batteries.
