Recognition of gestures, actions and facial expressions is considered the next big thing in the world of computing. Powerful computer configuration and operating systems are expected to facilitate a new generation of computers which can be controlled by a wave of the hand. The desktop computing industry has always been the forefront in so far as such power intensive developments are concerned.
Laptops take a backseat because they do not have access to very high computing power while desktop computers do. Well, this is one area where laptops can afford to take the lead. The combination of mobility and gesture recognition can have a huge impact on the way computers are used.
Instead of installing complicated devices and processes to facilitate gesture recognition, All one will need is a laptop with the necessary software applications to achieve this goal.
From improvements in education to better service for shoppers in a mall-the potential for laptops and motion tracking technology is virtually unlimited.
The biggest complication that prevents the achievement of this goal is need for computing power and battery capacity. Making more powerful laptops is not technically impossible. However, batteries may drain out so quickly that individuals will end up with a laptop that is perpetually fitted to the battery charger socket on the wall. Increasing battery capacity by going in for bigger or numerous batteries is going to affect the weight of a laptop.
Nobody wants to go back to the old scenario where a portable computing device was as big as a briefcase. Sorting these issues out is very important to achieve the goal of incorporating motion tracking technology in laptops.
