Google transforms "lie" of 1 April in real technology

Google issued a patent application of checks of automobiles based on gestures. Although this type of systems is currently fairly basic and ineffective, the internet giant seeks to diversify the technology, making it possible to change the radio station or adjust the air conditioning with little more than a wave of the hand.

The Google Patent shows a system that uses a depth camera placed on the ceiling and a laser scanner that reads simple gestures as commands for the operation of the vehicle. In the same way as the autonomous driving technology can make the roads safer by reducing the accidents result from human error or careless driving, gesture controls could also produce their own road safety benefits.

The Inhbitat explains that instead of an encoding with buttons on doors or on the wheel, a simple nod of arms could be used to open or close a window and adjust the volume of the radio.

Ironically, Google pretended to have released two years ago Gmail Motion â€" April 1 joke which suggested that the company was developing a new language that would make it possible to interact with Gmail through body gestures. Now, with this patent, the idea doesn't sound so ridiculous.
