Control the computer with hand movements, throw applications from window to window to 3D hologram projectors with mere hand gestures. I&#8217;m sure most people think that it&#8217;s a really cool idea, but probably thought that it&#8217;s still quite far off into the future right?<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<p>That was what I thought anyway. I know that science and technology will probably make it a reality in time, but probably not any time soon. So imagine my surprise when I heard that not only is this technology available <strong>NOW<\/strong> but it&#8217;s also for <strong>SALE<\/strong>!<\/div>\n<p class=\"mceTemp\">This is where Mgestyk comes into play. Not only has Mgestyk successfully created a working prototype, you can even sign up for their waiting list already! Well, unfortunately for us it&#8217;s nothing as fancy as Tom Cruise&#8217;s interface or Robert Downey Jr&#8217;s toy, but hey it&#8217;s still quite a cool concept isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mceTemp\">There&#8217;s a video on youtube that they hosted which shows off what it is capable of. From Guitar Hero to Flight Simulator to Firefox, Mgestyk&#8217;s gesture control can do quite a lot of things. However, it does look quite clumsy and there&#8217;s a slight lag in response. Of course, it&#8217;s not out yet so these small issues might be attended to by the time it is launched. Anyway, here&#8217;s the video!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mceTemp\">\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/FZyErkPjOR8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/FZyErkPjOR8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve all seen our own fair share of 3-Dimensional interfaces.
