New Applications for Gesture Recognition Technology

In the near future, gesture recognition technology will routinely add yet another dimension to human interactions with consumer electronic devices — such as PCs, media tablets and smartphones.

According to the latest market study by ABI Research, they now forecast that 600 million smartphones will be shipped with vision-based gesture recognition features in 2017.

“Gesture recognition is a very exciting prospect, particularly for smartphones and tablets,” says ABI Research senior analyst Josh Flood.
