# Touchscreen Cubes The Gesture Cube is like Nothing You've Ever Seen Before By Michael Hines | Published 2010-02-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gesture-cube References: [gizmowatch](http://www.gizmowatch.com/entry/gesture-cube-is-another-new-way-to-navigate-in-3d-space/) & [gesture-cube](http://www.gesture-cube.com/) Tablets may be cool now, but my money is that the Gesture Cube will be the next big thing. The Gesture Cube is basically a [touchscreen cube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokidos-playcubes) that you don’t have to touch. The Gesture Cube detects [three-dimensional movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minverse). Just [wave your hand near it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flick-wand) and it’ll detect your movements. It can sync with nearby devices as well. The Gesture Cube also looks very neat. Check out the video for a demo below. Tablets, beware. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **3D Gesture Control:** Opportunity to develop innovative technology that allows users to control devices through three-dimensional hand movements. - **Touchless Interaction:** Potential to create new user experiences by enabling touchless interaction with digital devices. - **Device Synchronization:** Opportunity to improve device connectivity by developing seamless synchronization capabilities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry to develop touchless devices and improve user experiences. - **Home Automation:** Opportunity to revolutionize home automation systems by incorporating touchless gesture control technology. - **Virtual Reality:** Potential to enhance virtual reality experiences by integrating touchless interaction and device synchronization. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desktop GIF Displayers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyber-cube.md) - [Gesture-Controlled Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-touch.md) - [Cube Toy-Inspired Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playcube.md) - [Puzzle Cube-Inspired Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-playcube.md) - [Cubed Smart Home Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-t1.md) - [Content-Creation Touchscreen Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchscreen-tablet.md) - [Touch-Free Screen Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchnetix.md) - [Touchless Interaction Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantomy-software.md) - [Smart Rubik’s Cube-Style Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gocube-22.md)
