Gesture Sensing Technology

Here is a scenario Giovanni Calabro doesn't think it too far away from becoming real:

"After a long day at work I walk out to my car; it recognizes me andopens without a key. After I sit in my car, my height and weight areregistered and the airbags adjust accordingly for safe deployment. Afterdriving a while I start to nod off. The movement of my head isregistered and Michael McDonald’s “What a Fool Believes” plays fullblast to wake me. When I arrive at home, I stand in front of myentertainment system and gesture to initiate interaction. It recognizesmy face and pulls up my contacts rather than my wife's. Using just myhands, I flip through my contacts, select one, and begin videoconferencing with him."
At a recent conference, PrimeSense introduced a new technology, which they describe as:

“an end-to-end solution that enables a computer to perceive the world inthree dimensions and to translate these perceptions into a synchronizeddepth image, in the same way humans do.”

If you have hard time imaging what that means, check out their promotional video below. Really cool and really scary in the same time. The scariest part for me is the rate at which technology once described in science fiction novels and movies is becoming an everyday reality.

Enjoy!
