gesture controls
Hands direct devices
Gesture controls are input methods that let users operate devices through physical movements rather than buttons or touchscreens.
A wave dismisses a call, a swipe in the air changes slides, a pinch zooms a map.
The technology appears in smartphones, gaming systems, smart TVs, and automotive interfaces: The car's gesture controls let you adjust the volume with a hand wave.
