How will people be able to interact with their computer without a keyboard, mouse or touchscreen in the future? Heitec got to the bottom of this question with a concept study: the Kinect sensor records 20 distinctive body points, which can be used to record human movements in space and use them to control software. In the study, a person can rotate, tilt and scale the 3D model of a machine with hand movements and use speech to instruct the computer to "fly" directly to a specific component.
