What Comes After The Touch Screen? Gesture Recognition.

If you look at most of the newer phone models these days, you’ll notice that they have something in common. They’re all touch screens. Sure, the technology is definitely useful and has a lot of potential, but have you ever wondered what the next big thing will be? Two words: gesture recognition. Take a look at this next gadget to see what I mean.

The Gesture Cube is a multimedia cube that recognizes hand movements which means you can access applications and media without having to touch the screen. With a wave of your hand you can sort and view your collection of photos, organize and listen to your favorite MP3s, look up the local weather, and even do some instant messaging.

Here’s a video of the Gesture Cube in action:

Impressive really, but what’s even more impressive is the potential for gesture recognition. Think of a house with touch screen and gesture recognition gadgets and appliances and you get the idea. A true geek paradise.

Gesture recognition? It’s all in the wrist.
