Apple Is looking to integrate recently purchased patents into company’s new devices. According to reports, the new technology would allow Apple to release in the near future iPad and iPhone controlled by gesture, letting users manipulate media, edit video without the need of touching the devices, with just a flip of the hand.
The gestures need to interact with the devices would be actually a little more complex than that, the hand motion would have to follow the basic geometric shapes, symbols or letters or even user-defined patterns. A leaked picture detailing Apple’s new patent hints to a range of actions that will be controlled by gestures as making selections, pointing, and grouping objects.
This would not be the first time, Apple is experimenting with the 3D gesturing technology.
According to PC World, Apple previously tried “to combine multi touch and 3-D gestures to easily create 3-D objects and models for applications in design fields such as architecture”.
Whatever Apple strategy for the future integration of touch less control, analysts hint that the development is intended for the next-generation iPads, but the front facing camera hints that the technology might not be exclusive to the iPads.. However, the leaked information doesn’t mention the newly discovered voice controlled assistant.
