Gesture Technology for Immersive Learning
Google’s Project Soli, a sensing technology that uses miniature radar to detect touchless gestures has received approval from the Federal Communications Commission. While it is still in the beginning stages, gesture technology in future just might transform an individual’s hand into a universal remote control.
Similar products such as Microsoft’s Kinect already allow the users to point at a screen to change the content. This kind of technology will enable your fingers to control the cursor or pointer without the hassle of a mouse or keyboard.
The technology can greatly increase classroom interaction and allow students to see, learn, understand and interact with the environment, thereby creating an interactive digital world, reckons Doug A. Bowman, a professor of computer science and director of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction at Virginia Tech. It has big potential, especially in augmented and virtual reality.
