Gesture Control

Sesame is a system designed specifically for users with only limited or no use of their hands. The device pairs head tracking software with some familiar hardware with the goal of bringing smartphone functionality to those who would otherwise be unable to make use of it.

Microsoft's Kinect system is certainly impressive, but it does have one problem – you have to stay located in front of it. MIT's new WiTrack system, however, can track users' movements even when those people are in another room.

Finnish researchers have created a giant touch and gesture controlled microscope.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a computer system that's able to recognize and respond to the emotions and gestures of its human user, and outputs its own response via a specially-designed robot.
