1. GESTURAL TECH
THE NO B.S. GUIDE FROM THE NO B.S. EXPERTS
We’ve sorted through the peppy marketing videos, fancy Photoshop comps and fanboy
rhetoric to tell you which gestural technologies will have the most impact on our lives —
and how soon you can expect to see them everywhere.
GESTURAL
SKELETAL
MUSCULAR
VISUAL
Tracks movement
through infrared
cameras, LEDs
Registers motion (and
temperature) with
infrared cameras
Detects muscle movement
via EMG sensors
Uses projection, an
accelerometer and
infrared cameras
PROS
+ Recognizes natural movements
+ APIs allow devs to capitalize on
tech
PROS
+ Facial and body recognition
+ Uses less-intensive movements
+ It knows who you are
PROS
+ Minimal hardware
+ Hyper-accurate
+ Moves with you
PROS
+ Real-time info overlays
+ You’re always connected
CONS
- Can’t decipher big gestures
- Viewed as a novelty
CONS
- It knows who you are
- Lighting can affect accuracy
CONS
- One size doesn’t fit all
- Hyper-sensitive
