Microsoft introduced a technology to control your computer using gestures [video]

Microsoft plans to launch products with embedded control using gestures. As it became known, In contrast to the wireless controller Kinect , it will take an active part in another component - the sound. That's the sound will track the movement of the user.

Office software giant called Microsoft Research has developed a special system of SoundWave, which uses a microphone and computer speakers for the detection of objects and gesture recognition. At about the same as a submarine uses sonar. The work of technology, "Sound Wave" is based on the Doppler effect, which allows you to "see" the gestures and movements near the PC.

To make it work as intended, you will need a working microphone and speakers - these devices will be able to replace any of the other sensors, they will simply no longer needed. SoundWave works as follows: the speaker emits sound waves in the range of 20-22 kHz, and the change in wave frequency due to the movements of user picks up the microphone. Then proceed to business software.

One major advantage of SoundWave before Kinect and similar systems - is available. SoundWave is using the hardware absolutely any computer: a microphone and speakers are in most modern PCs. According to the developer, the precision of technology ranging from 90 to 100% even in noisy environments.

It is unknown whether there is SoundWave is available for machines running Mac OS X and older computers, or the application will be compatible only with new systems.
