Gesture-basedcomputer interfaces are finally within reach. MIT researchers have designed an easy to use system that involves a standard webcam and a multicolored Lycra glove.
The glove is covered with 20 irregularly shaped patches with 10 different colors so that the computer can distinguish the colors from each other and from background objects.
To enhance city driving, Will Lark Jr. designed the City Car, a vehicle controlled through a computer that can fold in half, turn its wheels sideways, and parallel park with ease.
