How about tablet PCs that respond to your gesture in much the same manner as Microsoft’s Kinect on the Xbox 360? We might see that reality soon, as a result of some new acquisitions made by Qualcomm. The chipmaker has requisitioned several gesture recognition technologies made by GestureTek and hopes to integrate them in the Snapdragon chipsets that are being developed. Everything is still in its fledgling state, which means its too early to predict when the Snapdragon chipsets will make gesture control a reality in tablet PCs.
Steve Mollenkopf, executive vice president and group president, Qualcomm, stated, “Our acquisition of key technology and assets from GestureTek will strengthen Qualcomm’s smartphone product portfolio and enable device manufacturers to launch products with new and compelling user experience.”
So with integrated chip support now set to be a reality for gesture based input recognition technology as a means to control devices, it will no doubt open up a new realm for devices such as tablet PCs in the days to come.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
