Gesture recognition coming to more and more mainstream appliances

by Norrin on December 14, 2011

I came across an article this week that mentioned how JVC is rolling out a car stereo system that could be controlled via hand gestures.

Pretty cool, huh.

Now granted, this is a blog about home automation, not car automation, but I think it’s fair to assume that this type of gesture control can very quickly move from a car stereo component to a home stereo component. For that matter, it could also move to a refrigerator, microwave, oven, home security alarm system, etc.

It’s clear to me that with every passing day the interface between human and machine is becoming more and more seamless. Pretty soon, any home appliance that you can’t touch, talk to or gesture to will be technologically obsolete.
