Apple's Wild New 3D Gesturing



Who will benefit from 3D Gesturing?

As a basic overview, Apple introduces us to various new gesture inputs that will be used to render complex 3D objects. For example, a product design house will be able to use this futuristic iPad (device 100) to quickly generate 3D models of consumer products. Video game developers could use it to quickly generate 3D models of figures in video games. Users could use it to quickly generate avatars for use in video conferencing applications. Users of a virtual 3D environment could quickly generate or modify avatars or objects in the virtual 3D environment. Homeowners could generate 3D models of their houses based on aerial photographs, and add the 3D models to a map application.
