3D gesture recognition controller offers new approach to designing intuitive user interfaces

Available now from Mouser, the MikroElektronika MIKROE-1723 Gesture board uses Microchip's MGC3130 3D gesture recognition controller and brings a new approach to designing intuitive user interfaces. It is like a touchpad whose input area extends 10cm upwards into space. Command an MCU or PC by gesturing with hands and fingers above the board, and by touching and tapping its surface. The silkscreen on the back of the board depicts various supported gestures (flicking, drawing circles, air-wheels, taps and double taps etc.). The board comes with an IDC cable connector.
