With CES 2012 having been declared by the organizers "the year of the interface," gesture recognition and gesture control have been on full display from a number of vendors at the world's largest consumer electronics show last month. This article considers the evolution of the touch-screen interface from two dimensions, to expand to additionally feature a touch-free "third" dimension, where users can also interact with their devices using free-space gestures.

EETimes article by IDENT on "Enabling a third dimension in user control of electronic devices"
EETimes in its June edition has published a case study by IDENT Technology on enabling three-dimensional user interfaces in consumer electronics. IDENT's GestIC technology and System-on-Chip (SoC) solution overcomes functional and design limitations of today's touch pads/screens, keyboards and game controls and realizes superior user experience by true 3D controls for a large bandwidth of electronic devices.
IDENT Technology AG has been awarded by DEUTSCHE STANDARDS as a leading supplier in the field of electrical sensing technologies. DEUTSCHE STANDARDS' recently published Encyclopedia of German World Market Leaders "Lexikon der deutschen Weltmarktführer", presents about 1,000 German World Market Leading companies and their expertise, including IDENT Technology for its Z-Sense technology. The company's Z-Sense ULPP Proximity as well as its GestIC gesture control technology are based on electrical near field sensing and allows the realization of new user interface solutions from 1D touch to 3D Gesture recognition for the consumer electronics market.
