We’ve seen stuff like this before, but never has it looked this interesting. A company called XTR3D has posted concept videos of a new gesture-based navigation and control system they’re working on that’ll allow users do what they need to do without having to touch their devices.
In the first video, a pair of kids are playing a racing game on their phones where the hand is used to steer instead of tilting the phone. This use case seems a bit pointless considering the accelerometer offers more compelling gameplay for the racing genre.
The second use case looked great, though. A guy sits down for his morning breakfast and props his tablet up to check the news. He waves his hands back and forth to switch between sites. When his wife (or whoever that beautiful lady is) calls him, he simply holds his hand up to accept the video call.
The concept is great, but we all know it’s really about execution. If they are able to bring something to market that looks like this and looks this good, I’m sure they won’t have any problem generating interest from investors, users and developers alike.
