Experts from the University of Waterloo have created technology that allows you to read hand gestures and execute different commands on them. The new system was named Typealike and needs a webcam to work.
This program is designed for the computer to read from the movements of the user's hands the necessary operations. The developers noted that the system itself can be programmed for a certain hand position to perform the required operations.
The authors intend to use the innovation to create a faster and smoother interface. There will be no need for keyboard shortcuts or working with a mouse.
As a result, a small mechanical device was created, which focuses its work on the user's hands. Also scientists created software for this device. The specialists used machine learning to work with the device.
During tests and surveys, the technology showed maximum functionality and versatility.
