Articles about hand gestures

Touch screen interfaces didn't even come to their full potential and researchers are working already on the next step after touch screens, which is gestural interfaces where all you have to do is move your hard in front of the screen and those movements are then interpreted by the computer inside the display and translated into commands.It's like what you've already seen in Minority Report, but at a new level that doesn't require any kind of gloves or tracking device on your hand and it will...

Wacom is a producer well known for its graphic tablets, used by artists to work with graphic design/CAM/CAD programs.
