NEC Unveils Ambient Interface, The Gesture Based Technology

Japanese technology giant NEC Corporation unveiled their latest accomplishment in gesture controlling technology with a device capable of projecting the image of an input device on any kind of surface to carry out the desired commands. This virtual input device will allow users to easily control gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, televisions etc. with gestures, conveying the required information to the input device along with the help of a projector and a moveable camera that recognizes three-dimensional shapes and movement of hands or fingers on the control input.



The focus in on achieving wide range of high-precision control over devices that perceive user inputs to operate. Of late, several cloud based services have enabled users to explore new avenues of information terminals and with this new gadget; NEC will allow users to control these terminals based on their gestures and movements without interacting with a physical remote control device.

In future NEC also plans to develop applied technologies for gesture-based control of digital signage, operation of electrical appliances like air conditioners, lights and other such devices not equipped with displays.
