welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is
linkis the first thing here is
perceptual technology so this is basically the concept of interacting
with computers in ways that do not involve directly touching them
interacting with a keyboard or mouse or something like a touchreen so a few
examples of how you can use this and how it might be implemented are actually
here on display right now so right here we have what is more than just a webcam
this is an IR emitter an IR receiver as
well as a regular webcam so it can do some very cool things number one is
because of the way that you interact with it you can do not only just 2D
gestures but also 3D gestures much like something like Microsoft Connect because
of the infrared camera it can do a bunch of other stuff as well including pick up
on your emotions in ways that can tell
you things like okay so it knows your heart rate it knows your pupil dilation
it knows kind of how you're feeling about something so maybe you're playing
a video game with someone and you're using this kind of a perceptual
Computing concept to play it might say something like look your gaming
partner's getting bored it might be time to switch games or if you watch a movie
they might go hey you watch a movie like that before and you didn't really like
it you weren't enjoying yourself when you were watching it are you sure you want to check that out so one of the
ones over there actually has a guy operating what is sort of like a you
know gravity gun or something along those lines and you can see you can
manipulate it in 3D space just like this move it forward move it back another
example right here on the Turney table down here is using this idea
to put me inside of a virtual space now
obviously this is a very early version and there's going to be a lot of work to
be done before this is ready for prime time but it's a very interesting concept
