5 Of The Coolest Gesture Control Devices

Gesture-based controls are slowly invading consumers' favorite devices.

From smartphones and smart TVs to game consoles and augmented reality, motion control is becoming a big part of the way individuals interact with technology.

Adam Tilton, co-founder and CEO of Rithmio (a new gesture recognition software company), has big dreams for this sector.

"Imagine being able to maneuver your phone through space to answer a call, clear notifications, adjust the ringer volume or open your camera to snap a quick photo," Tilton told Benzinga. "As wearable devices become more ever present, the connection between devices and motion will only be strengthened and gesture is the natural mechanism to strengthen this connection."

Rithmio has developed a software platform that promises to automatically learn various gestures and physical activities (running, weightlifting, squatting, etc.). This could be significant in the near future.
