Microsoft Develops a Keyboard with Kinect-Like Gesture Controls

Microsoft Research , the in-house research laboratory founded in 1991, has introduced its newest creation: a mechanical keyboard with imbedded IR sensors that allows for "rich and expressive motion gestures performed both on and directly above the device." "A low-resolution matrix of infrared proximity sensors is interspersed with the keys of a regular mechanical keyboard," Microsoft says of the device on its website. "This results in coarse but high frame-rate motion data. We extend a machine learning algorithm, traditionally used for static classification only, to robustly support dynamic, temporal gestures." What does that all mean? "Our goal is to enable fast, easy, and low-effort gestures allowing users to smoothly transition between text-entry and motion-based so that hands always remain in the home position on the keyboard," stated Microsoft Research in a video showing off their new product. Some of the uses shown include hover gestures to

11 Changers in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

source:  IGN The trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has dropped and it made one thing very apparent - Sledgehammer Games’ new first-person shooter is going to be a game changer. How so? Well, we collected 11 things from the trailer that have us more excited about Call of Duty than ever before. We still have a lot of questions like “will these be in multiplayer?” and “how will this affect balance?” but there’s no doubt about one thing: we cannot wait to find out. That said, here are 11 things to get excited about in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. 1 The Exo Suit The first thing you see in the trailer is an exo suit and it’s likely going to be a huge part of gameplay, both in terms of combat and mobility. Its basic function gives the player enhanced strength and the ability to jump extreme distances. Will you be able to do melee attacks from afar? Will we be able to re-create the freeway scene from The Matrix? We’re excited to discover the answer. 2 Wall Climbing It’s not quite t
