gesture control

Waving means something

Gesture control is a method of operating a device through physical movements rather than buttons, touchscreens, or voice commands.

Cameras or sensors detect hand waves, finger swipes, or body motions and translate them into commands: The TV has gesture control so you can change channels with a wave.

Common in gaming systems, smart displays, and automotive interfaces.
