Interactive Gestures: Designing Gestural Interfaces

Not sure exactly what’s going on here, but it sure looks interesting. To whit:

Not only Nokia has found a way around most of the things that Apple may get IP protection on, they seem to be on the way to develop user interface technology that goes well beyond touch.

How about the multi-touch like mobile handset UI that does not actually require touch, can track your hand movements in three dimensional space, and even recognize 3D hand gestures?

…

Different finger combinations can be used also as a shortcuts to various applications. Make a letter C with you fingers and your calendar application launches, use a “V” sign to launch an address book. And if the operation of the device grinds to a halt and starts to really piss you off, just give him a “finger” and it resets to start anew.

Nifty. I’ve done some projects with Nokia and never caught a whiff of this. Cool.
