A gesture sensing interface is on its way, if we believe the news mongers. Being developed by Patrick Baudisch, professor of computer science at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Postdam, Germany, and his research student, Sean Gustafson, the gesture sensing interface will require no physical input device like touch screen or a keyboard.
