    "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.

  • While today the most popular forms of gesture-based computing are designed for gaming and simulation/training purposes, there is a growing interest in applying these technologies to K-12 education. Perhaps one of the best examples of such application is the collaboration between Nintendo and the National Association for Music Education to integrate Wii consoles and music software into secondary school music classes

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

    This device is a portable cube that projects an image of a keyboard on a flat surface so you can type from a tablet or mobile device. The device reads your gestures to determine the keys you are typing.

    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.

    "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.

  • a development that astonishes some ed-tech experts since the device is less than 15 months old, and K-12 educators are traditionally slow adopters of new technology.
  • ith a battery life of eight to 10 hours and a weight of just over a pound, the iPad offers more portability and less startup time during the full school day than laptops or netbooks, while its screen size facilitates more flexibility using the Web and easier input than smartphones.
  • “Is this the best use of our funds, or is it simply a tool to engage and motivate our students?” he asks. “Of course, technology has that capability, but is that always the best angle?”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The question may be whether the iPad is best suited as a 1-to-1 device or to be shared as part of a stable of digital classroom tools. For example, on the other side of Arlington, Jamestown Elementary School’s instructional technology coordinator, Camilla Gagliolo, has stashed the nearly 60 iPads at her school in technology cabinets across classrooms in the 550-student K-5 school. About a half-dozen sit in each cabinet, next to a similar number of netbook computers and iPod touch media players.
  • students can choose which device to use for an ongoing book-publishing project. During math in Bill Donovan’s 4th grade class, students rotate between workstations working on quick-response math exercises. Some are using math-drill apps on the iPad, iPod touches, or laptops. And some are using old-fashioned pencil and paper.

    "Every day seems to offer another story about a district or school that's buying iPads." This article explains the various uses of iPads in the classroom and how many schools have adopted them. It is important to gesture based computing because it gives yet another example of how gesture technology is invading the classroom.
