New technology has made a gesture recognition system from the movie “Minority Report” yesterday

I remember how my friends and me were struck by the film “Special Opinion”. In general, it’s not a plot, but an advanced gesture recognition technology that allowed an alien Scientologist sect member Tom Cruise to operate an electronic computer without any mice or other things - gestures and it’s like a voice (I don’t remember exactly, sorry). So, this system is far behind the new technology created by scientists from the German Institute for Applied Information Technologies (Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Informationstechnik).

How does this technology exceed the one that was shown in the film? Well, it does not need any gloves and other tricks, the system recognizes fingers, finger movements, movements of human hands. The movement of each finger can be tied to a specific command. The same can be done with the movement of hands in general.

That Tom Cruise from "Special Opinion".

Management of the system through a new technology is performed in real time (in principle, this is the only way). This technology allows you to localize the position of each finger and hand in space with very high accuracy. Unfortunately, the developers of the system do not have impressive clips, like the frames from the above-mentioned film, but there is a photo, which is inserted in the announcement of the article.

Today, by the way, along with some laptops, software is delivered that allows you to perform some operations with programs on a computer without a mouse, with simple gestures (of course, this should be a webcam). But the accuracy of such systems is very far from perfect and it is often impossible to open the site with girls the first time to do what is necessary, because of which the user is forced to repeat the gesture. Clearly, such a “job” brings only irritation instead of pleasure.

PS By the way, Microsoft Kinect, a system that intersects with the one I mentioned above, has already gone on sale, today the corresponding news has appeared on this topic .
