Gesture Control (or gesture recognition) allow users to interact with devices without physically touching them. As an alternative human-machine interface (HMI) to voice, touch and facial recognition, human body movements are recognized and interpreted by computer algorithms to give commands. Applications cover a wide range of connected devices such as consumer devices, gaming, automotive and industrial, due to the need for more natural and free-flowing movements.
Demand for touchless interfaces has undoubtedly increased since the COVID-19 pandemic, but technologies such as radar powered by Edge AI and Time of Flight (ToF) sensors, are bringing new capabilities to gesture control and rebutting previous pain-points such as frustration with learning curves, lack of accuracy and speed. Gesture controls are becoming more accurate and more usable than ever before.
