The computer mouse was invented in 1960s and it went through many revisions regarding its functionality and features since then. According to folks from Celluon who came up with evoMouse, it is the evolution of the computer mouse which allows you to emulate the mouse with gestures of your hand. They also came up with… »
During surgery, surgeons routinely need to review medical images and records. However, stepping away from the operating table and touching a keyboard and mouse can delay the surgery and increase the risk of spreading infection-causing bacteria. The new approach which solves that problem is a system that uses a camera and specialized algorithms to recognize… »
Scientists at Fraunhofer FIT have developed a non-contact gesture and finger recognition system that could be used as a future information interaction system. The novel system detects hand and finger positions in real-time and translates these into appropriate interaction commands. Unlike most of the systems we described before, this system does not require special gloves… »
Most of current touch screen displays uses capacitive sensing, where the proximity of a finger disrupts the electrical connection between sensors in the screen. A competing approach, which uses embedded optical sensors to track the movement of the user’s fingers, is just now coming to market. The researchers at MIT’s Media Lab went a step… »
If you are a designer which uses computer as a tool for your designs it is most likely you have used some kind of a tablet to draw your art. On the other hand, if you always wanted to use hand gestures while using your computer and you can’t afford Microsoft Surface, now you can… »
Remember the futuristic sci-fi computer interfaces where you operate devices with the use of your hand gestures? Although still a prototype, the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab unveiled the SixthSense, a wearable, gesture-driven computing platform that can continually augment the physical world with digital information.”We’re trying to make it possible to have access… »
