Software could be interesting about how to translate basic anglo-saxon gestures ...
eyeSight Technologies has released what the company claims to be the world's first commercial gesture technology to allow users to control digital devices with a fingertip, even from across a room.
With eyeSight’s camera-based 'fingertip tracking’ users can, for the first time, move a cursor simply by pointing their finger directly at the screen, for the ultimate intuitive user experience. The software could be used with an almost limitless range of devices, including televisions to browse complex menus, personal computers to control films, music and even games.
The fingertip tracking makes gesture feel so intuitive that eventually people will use it without even thinking about it, claims eyeSight Technologies. The fingertip tracking capability of the software ranges from 70cm to 5m. The system is designed to be easy to integrate into almost any digital device with a camera, (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, televisions, digital signs, etc.). It works with standard cameras, and can recognize which individuals in a crowded room to ‘track’.

Software could be interesting about how to translate basic anglo-saxon gestures like the one used by the Welsh archers to the French to show that they still had their fingers.

LOL. I imagine there will be a need for locale settings in gesture translation libraries.
