WHAT’S AHEAD? (or already here) – Cutting-Edge Technologies – part 4

EYE AND GESTURE-CONTROLLED TECHNOLOGY.  Assistive technology like eye/gesture controls are expected to take off in 2014, allowing control of technology with a glance, rather tHan using a keyboard, mouse or even your voice.  The Tobii EyeX controller is just now available & the associated hardware should be mainstream before the end of 2014.  Samsung’s Smart Control Remote may eliminate trying to learn how to use a new universal remote.  This may be easier to use than a touchscreen smartphone.  Leapmotion (leapmotion.com) is a touchless computer experience that allows people to operate programs with hand gestures in thin air.  Software is currently limited, but A TREND COMING.
