Introducing a sci-fi menu to satiate the user’s appetite with magical powers that recognize gestures of simply waving the hand, head nods or different walking gait, the technology of gesture recognition is relishing the attention of providing a seamless human-computer interaction.

This vision-based technology uses motion sensors and a camera to read and interpret the gestures as commands or primary sources of input data. Instead of typing commands, with the help of a camera, A device detects hand or body movements. Machine learning algorithms feed on the image data, identify and interpret each registered real-time gestures to match with the predefined gesture library. Once the match is found, the device executes the commands correlating the specific gesture. The promising technology of gesture recognition has built interactive and engaging live experiences not only in the gaming industry but every industry you name it.

Being highlighted as one of the latest innovative technologies, has the mid-air gestures defining the science fiction movies gained momentum?
