Intel’s new interface idea is a mash-up of all the others

Perceptual computing (credit: Intel)
At CES, Intel demoed its latest big idea — “perceptual computing,” MIT Technology Review reports.
With perceptual computing, Intel envisions a new kind of interface for devices that will let users switch fluently between keyboards, trackpads, touch screens, voice commands, and gestures — or use several modes of interaction at once.
Perceptual computing is Intel’s attempt to keep laptops relevant in a consumer-tech landscape increasingly overtaken by phones, tablets, motion-controlled gaming consoles, and other post-Wintel devices offering novel, intuitive user experiences.

The only thing he showed in that clip seemed shaky and primitive compared to what Leapmotion has already done in a smaller, more easily integrated device. That ‘hand gesture solar system thing’ looked no better than what old current gen game consoles can do (Kinect/Wii/Move).
If Intel can do more they failed to show it in that clip.

By the end of 2014 i hope atleast the highest end ultrabooks would have gaze,face,voice,gesture and touch fully baked into them.

Nice idea. I think some of the IBM’s 5 in 5 senses would be great too.
E.g. (at least primitive) Olfactory sensing, and object recognition (not just face, gaze and gesture, but also many other non-human objects).

I like the way you put that.
