Gestural Control
Gestural Control is a way for people to use hand or body movements to tell a device what to do, like waving to change a song or moving a hand to scroll a screen. In device interaction, designers can use sensors that notice even small movements, such as a finger tap in the air or a swipe above a surface. Some devices can now pick up on the speed and direction of a gesture, which means designers can create controls that feel very natural and quick. For example, a device might respond differently to a slow wave compared to a fast one, giving more options for how people interact with technology.
