One of the disadvantages of having touch screen capability on your cellphone or computers is the screen of the gadgets will end up with lots of fingerprints and become greasy. The next breakthrough in technology would be looking into technology that allows you to control your gadgets and computer without having you to touch it. Guys at Norway’s Elliptic Labs have achieved this. What they have is a touchless interface that lets your fingers stay a few inches or more away from your computer screen, without touching it, and you’ll be able to control the movement of the 3D objects in the computer.
The 3D touchless interface by Elliptic Lab doesn’t need you to wear any special gloves with sensors. Just point your fingers at the screen, then you can manipulate the objects in 3D. Amazingly, you can stay up to 5 feet away from the screen.
According to the lab, the technology is compact enough to be embedded in portable gadgets. Reps from the lab will show off this 3D touchless technology in the upcoming GDC show in San Francisco 3rd week of February.
