New York, Dec 26 (Ians) Imagine typing on a computer without a keyboard, playing a video game without a controller or driving a car without a wheel. A team of scientists has developed a new device that can recognise hand gestures based on electrical signals detected in the forearm.
The system, which couples wearable biosensors with artificial intelligence (AI), could one day be used to control prosthetics or to interact with almost any type of electronic device, said engineers from University of California, Berkeley.
"Prosthetics are one important application of this technology, but besides that, it also offers a very intuitive way of communicating with computers." said Ali Moin, who helped design the device as a doctoral student in Uc Berkeley's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences.
Reading hand gestures is one way of improving human-computer interaction.
"And, while there are other ways of doing that, by, for instance, using cameras and computer vision,...
