Future technology - waving radio control

In the future, thanks to the 3D gesture recognition technology, we only need to wave to control electronic devices.

A set of motion of the fingers will help to change the channel or to twist and scratch the sound of the radio. In the electronic game device, the body movement has helped control the virtual character on the screen.

This is called 3D gesture recognition technology and although it does not appear this Christmas, some tech companies are promising to bring the technology to market next Christmas.

Softkinetic software company in Brussels is one of the leading companies in the field of gesture control has partnered with Texas Instruments, a semiconductor maker and other manufacturers to realize technology. on.

In addition to Texas Instruments, Softkinetic has partnered with France-based Orange Vallee (France), Belgium's Optrima camera and 3D sensor manufacturer, and the company's Connecting Technology (France).

Softkinetic CEO Michel Tombroff said: " In terms of consumption there are three potential markets - radio, video games and personal computers. Our goal is to bring this technology to market by the end of next year, Christmas time.

Just like the Nintendo Wii has completely changed the way video games play this 3D camera technology will allow us to completely change the way we interact with the radio. '

Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies Associates, said that gesture recognition technology has "exactly driven because any solution that leads to a more natural interface with humans is better." "What I saw through the demo was very accurate," he said.

Microsoft software giant demonstrates a gesture recognition technology called "Natal Project" for Xognition solutions, which uses a 3D camera that "looks like a small webcam" on the top of the screen. radio or computer monitor for control.

"The new technology can monitor the whole body and you do not have to handle anything," adds Tombroff . Just standing up or waving is able to control without any intermediary. '
