Gesture-based computing is a way for a human to interact with a computer without actually being connected with wires and such. Input devices such as a mouse, keyboard and touch screens will become obsolete. Some of the uses of gesture-based computing are sign language recognition, assistive robotics, control through facial gestures, immersive game technology, and remote controls.
