Operating computers without touching them, using only hand and arm gestures: it sounds futuristic, but it's already possible. Researcher Wim Fikkert of the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, investigated the gestures that people would naturally use to operate a computer in this way. Remarkably, most test subjects chose the same gestures of their own accord.
