What new things can come up with in terms of gesture control? Google proves that the topic is not closed, and the video analysis is not the only solution. Instead of cameras, tracking user movements company from Mountain View, proposed something much more interesting.
Barriers interface
As a convenient way to control electronics ubieralną? Different manufacturers traced back to different solutions, such as gestures, hand movements, voice, keys and finally a small touchscreens. It is difficult to view this as a peak comfortable – we use these solutions because they usually do not have a better alternative .
Or rather, until recently, did not have. Google revealed Salt Project – a noteworthy idea to control electronics ubieralną , which recently recalled Adam in the article “Control of jeans or waving hand? I do not know what to choose: Google ideas are great! “.
Not only is the picture!
Project Salt assumes control through gestures. On the face of it is not new – after all, it is difficult to get excited again invention of Kinecta. The innovation lies in the fact that so far the control of the ghettos was possible thanks to the cameras . Is it in devices such as Kinect, whether on smartphones, TVs or laptops, gestures were “perceived” by the device by analyzing the image seen by the camera.
Google’s new proposal seems to be much more interesting. Instead of image analysis uses radio waves and the Doppler effect, that is – in practice – radar, tracking user movements. Precision equipment is large enough that I was able to develop patterns of reflections, corresponding to the different arrangement and movement of the hand .
I think it is a much better solution than, for example . penetration into the fabric fibers forming on the garment type touchpad. Why?
For news you need to get used to it
At the core is the lack of a typical control device. Instead, we have our hands and that’s enough. You can easily imagine controlled in this way, for example. VR goggles or SmartWatch. And while I agree that our movements hands can bystander look quite peculiarly , it is probably only a matter of habit and dissemination of this technology.
Years ago, someone talking on the phone with the headset also seemed crazy, talking to each other. We have become accustomed, so to get used other innovations too. The problem is that the Project Salt is far only demonstrator technology . Google does not reveal whether and when it intends to apply a solution of commercially available devices.
Interface Future
Where could I check? In my opinion the ideal combination would be to use it, for example. In the successor of Google Glass. Hand gestures instead of reaching for the touchpad in the frame glasses? This could be checked!
Regardless of whether you ever live to see the implementation of this solution in a consumer hardware, I welcome the fact that the manufacturers of various devices looking for new solutions to communicate with the electronics and try to go beyond the limitations they impose different variants of voice control and touch screens. The question is whether manage to implement them before we will see commonly available equipment controlled thoughts?
