Microsoft's Kinect Technology: A Bust That Could Still Become a Boom

Microsoft's Kinect wrist-worn sensor technology is capable of interpreting a user's wrist, palm, and finger motions [1] to control a computer or console. The infrared laser device sends messages to mobile phones and iPads to decode human body movements, resulting in the manipulation of digital files based solely on gestures [2]. This motion-controlled computing has the potential to reduce redundancies and workload blockages in offices.
