Touchless Gesture User Interfaces

Posted by samzenpus on from the wave-of-your-hand dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Elliptic Labs is set to debut their Touchless Gesture User Interface technology which uses ultrasound to let the user navigate through a device's commands simply with the motion of their hands. From the article: 'Elliptic plans to showcase their “Mimesign” technology at IFA in Berlin from the 3rd to 8th of September 2010. Mimesign will bring intuitive ways for people to interact with devices. The possibilities range from tablets, remote controls or in-car media controls. The interface is based on ultrasound technology and allows the user to remain in an unchanged state.'"

    Prolonged exposure to ultrasound can cause hearing damage. Is anyone giving that any attention, or will it be a big surprise in 10 years when the people using these start going deaf?
