For decades, keyboards and mouse have been the main input devices for computers. However, with the rising\u00a0popularity of ubiquitous and ambient devices, (i.e. PlayStations), and equipment which allows users to grasp virtual\u00a0objects, hand or body gesture are becoming essential: gesture controls have become central to the human computer\u00a0interaction system.<\/p>\n
Gesture control technology is based on gesture recognition. Gesture recognition can be seen as a way for computers to\u00a0begin to understand human body language. Compared to the primitive user interfaces, such as keyboard and mouse, it\u00a0builds a richer bridge between the computers and humans. Gesture control devices recognise and interpret human
\nbody movements, allowing the user to interact with a computer system.<\/p>\n
In this paper, we will discuss the gesture control technology and its impact in the education sector.
