IDENT Technology AG, ZINOSIGN, and LUNAR Europe have teamed up to create a unique design that they call the Gesture Cube. So what is a Gesture Cube? It is a concept design that uses spatial movement tracking in order to operate. Instead of a touch screen, the gesture cube is activated by the movement of your hand. The gesture cube allows you to access music, the internet, and interact with friends and family. It can even connect to a cell phone and access information stored within the phone. One can easily use and navigate through multiple applications at once. The whole idea behind the product is that it can be used throughout your house and move with you from room to room. This video shows how this unique technology works. DENT Technology AG devleoped the touch-free GestlC technology used in the product, ZINOSIGN designed the user interface on the cube and the website, and LUNAR Europe created the overall design for the cube. (More info about the creators.)
This new form of movement tracking technology does not seem that helpful. I feel like if I was to move anywhere close to the surface of the cube that I would accidently active it. I think a touch screen is more practical and easier to use then this kind of technology. Im also guessing that with this new technology the product will be very expensive. Overall I am not a fan.
