In many respects, Microsoft has led the charge towards a future of gesture-based controls with its Kinect , and other tech giants like Samsung and Apple are getting in on the action, too. The move to motion controls isn't limited to the big boys, however. Leap Motion has created a new device, called the Leap, it claims is 200 times more accurate than existing technology and will take gesture ...

Rather than follow a traditional career path, some young adults are launching their own ventures, often with a philanthropic bent.

A computer science engineering team has developed an indoor navigation system for people with visual impairments. The researchers have explained how a combination of human-computer interaction and motion-planning research was used to build a low-cost accessible navigation system, called Navatar, which can run on a standard smartphone.
