NVIDIA researching image tracking and motion detection technologies
From Nintendo's Wii-mote to Microsoft's forthcoming Kinect, motion-based controllers are all the rage, but will we ever see something similar for PC users? Quite possibly, as it appears that NVIDIA are researching into just this kind of technology, making use of their GPUs to handle the processing overheads required.
Motion detection-based user interfaces have been exciting minds for a long time. But it looks like “Minority Reportâ€-like user interfaces may be a little closer than we think. Nvidia Corp. on Friday confirmed that it is researching technologies that could enable real-time motion-detection-based user interfaces.
All three leading makers of video game consoles have enabled real-time detection of motions for new games using different technologies, but emphasizing the importance of the idea in general. Toshiba Corp. and some other companies have enabled recognition of certain gestures on Cell processor-based devices, showing an evolution of the TV remote control. There are expectations that Microsoft Corp. is also working on user interfaces that can be controlled using gestures and motions. Hardware companies do recognize the necessity of interfaces that are based on detections of motions. Recently Intel Corp. announced creation of a special lab that will work, among other things, on various types of interfaces for computer users, including, but not limited to, motion detection-based. Apparently, Nvidia Corp. is also working on various motion tracking technologies aimed at the future.
