Se a substituição de botões pela tecnologia das telas sensíveis a toque ainda é uma novidade muito recente para você, o que pensar dos aparelhos que podem ser controlados de longe – e sem o uso de um controle remoto?
A empresa israelense XTR3D está trabalhando em uma nova forma de controlar seus aparelhos favoritos: a partir de gestos feitos pelo consumidor e recebidos via captura de movimentos. Assim, basta fazer com que uma TV reconheça a palma de sua mão, por exemplo, para que você troque de canal, aumente o volume ou desligue o aparelho com gestos bem simples, como se você estivesse controlando um mouse.
Os desenvolvedores já estavam trabalhando em jogos simples que utilizam essa tecnologia, no mesmo estilo do Kinect, porém com câmeras que capturam apenas em 2D. Com isso, é possível reproduzir o mesmo efeito de captura e reprodução de ações do corpo com uma webcam ou uma máquina fotográfica digital, por exemplo.
A XTR3D recebeu um investimento de cerca de US$ 8 mil (quase R$ 15 mil) de algumas gigantes multinacionais (como a Texas Instruments) para trabalhar na área de televisores e celulares. A competição deve ser acirrada, já que o Kinect vai ganhar uma versão para PC, e a Apple estaria desenvolvendo uma tecnologia similar. A melhor notícia disso tudo? De acordo com a BBC, o primeiro smartphone que não precisa de toques para funcionar pode chegar já em 2012.
If the replacement buttons for the technology of touch-sensitive screens is still a very new news to you, what to think of devices that can be controlled from afar - and without using a remote control?
XTR3D The Israeli company is working on a new way to control your favorite devices: from gestures made by consumers and received via motion capture. So, just make a TV to recognize the palm of your hand, for example, you change channels, turn up the volume or turn off the device with gestures as simple as if you were controlling a mouse.
The developers were working on simple games that use this technology in the same style Kinect, but with cameras that capture only in 2D. This makes it possible to reproduce the same effect of capture and playback of actions of the body with a webcam or a digital camera, for example.
The XTR3D received an investment of about $ 8000 (£ 15,000) a few multinational giants (such as Texas Instruments) to work in television and mobile phones. The competition must be fierce as the Kinect will win a PC version, and Apple was developing a similar technology. The best news of all? According to BBC, the first smartphone that does not need to run rings can come as early as 2012.
