Tells us how gesture based computing is now being used with this new technology and can be used for future game use.

This is quite informative and has a few examples about gesture based compting is already beign used in the educational system.

The New York Times reports on how Microsoft is buying a company based completely on gesture technology, which could have a huge impact on its emerging technology. "We have a really broad mission to enable everyday devices with the ability to see."

"That success relies upon a high-frame-rate camera and algorithm which tracks a binarized finger image to estimate its 3-D motion and posture." The speed of gesture based technology relates to the technology used in smartphones.

This post describes a new piece of hardware that make gesture-basec computing more accessible.

The horizon report is out and will be the subject of our NetGenEd Project this year. Current trends: Time to adoption: One Year or Less * Electronic Books * Mobiles Time to adoption: Two to Three Years * Augmented Reality * Game-based Learning Time to adoption: Four to Five Years * Gesture-based Computing * Learning Analytics

Microsoft reduces the lag time on touch screens. This could be a huge breakthrough in gesture based computing, but the author questions whether it will be implemented.

"the combination of direct touch and group activity through a multi-touch environment will significantly enhance students' learning experiences." through many examples, this article elaborates upon the many advantages of gesture based computing in education.

"Everything in our world is being digitized (or will be) and it makes sense for text  books to be able to be updated in real time (any time) at a cost that is virtually free rather than the investment it takes to republish and distribute millions of books every few years." This article discusses the use of iPads in the classroom and how they should be replacing textbooks. Since ipads are gesture based, they will be a great addition to a classroom.

In this paper, the authors discuss the use of technology in storytelling. Children can use gesture-based technology to make their stories more tangible, more real.

This article represents the various uses of technology in the classroom. If gives important statistics on people's views of technology and on various gesture based technology in the classroom.

On Body Interaction: Armed and Dangerous. Gesture based computing demonstrated

this is not about gesture based computing, it is on about how choices can help students learn better

Yeah realt

this article is about how gesture based computing is integrated into learning environments and how old beliefs are changing.

Important video for gesture based students to view. This is about the evolution of input into the computer. Pranav Mistry is the inventor.
