Gesture Based computing incorporates gestural interactions very similar to the way Wii and other games function sensing individual movements either with hand-held devices or sensing the movement of the limbs and body of the player. It is expected within the next four to five years gesture-based computing will become the norm for interacting with a computer, such as you do now with your Smart-phones and iPads. The possibility of gesture-based computing changing the way we interact is all too real. The links associated with this search engine speak of variations of gesture-based computing now and in the future. Have fun searching and learning. Be sure to search for the Sixth Sense.
