Guiding robot planes with hand gesturesMIT researchers are developing a system that would allow aircraft-carrier crews to direct autonomous planes using ordinary hand gestures.

Gesture-based computing on the cheapWith a single piece of inexpensive hardware — a multicolored glove — MIT researchers are making Minority Report-style interfaces more accessible.

Computing with a wave of the handA new Media Lab system turns LCD displays into giant cameras that provide gestural control of objects on-screen. And that’s just for starters.
