Gesture Control Notebooks

Toshiba Qosmio G55 and its 18 Inch Screen

— June 16, 2008 — Tech
The Toshiba Qosmio H55 is a giant groundbreaking laptop. The 18.4-inch 10.8 pound desktop replacement is the first notebook with a dedicated Quad Core HD Processor, which enables gesture control and super fast video encoding.

Users will be able to control music and video playback, PowerPoint slides and more, with their hand gestures. According to Laptop Magazine, “The webcam senses your movement from 3 to 10 feet away and the Quad Core HD processor interprets your hand motions in real time. It should be noted that stopping/resuming video requires you to have a flexible wrist as you have to raise an open palm to the screen in a 'stop in the name of love' position.”

Set to go on sale next month for $1,549, Qosmio G55 has got 'the looks' with a combination of a slick black chassis, LED illumination, and metal highlights.
