Chirp Microsystems is in the process of producing a gestural
interface for smart watches. They have created a small chip that is able to
detect three-dimensional gestures using ultrasonic waves information. The plan
is for the chips to be used in wearables that would consist of anything any electronic
device you would like to control. This would eliminate the need for a touch screen
interface.
The use of ultrasonic information should allow for more
accurate gestures and a wide range of device sizes. The echoes produced by ultrasonic waves are
measured by the connection to the electronic chip. These chips can also be
hooked up to computers, where they can be used to control things like games and
flight simulators. The use of sound also lowers the amount of power that is
used.
They are trying to create universal gestures that will be
programmed and used on any type of device.
