Normally the Microsoft device can only scope body and full mitt movements, but the research company was able to track individual fingers with a Kinect or similar sensor, plus its custom software, allowing a user's hand to become a more finely tuned controller.
Runners and cyclists of all levels will now be able to better track, analyze and improve their performance by wirelessly sending sensor data to one of the growing number of Bluetooth v4.0-enabled smartphones or tablets on the market.
In November 2010 came the Kinect sensor, a device packed with cameras and microphones that track users movements and listen to their voices, allowing the Xbox to be controlled through speech and motion instead of a game pad.
My thought about the iWatch is it will simply be a sensor package that has as an additional capability, the ability to accurately track time (synch via network connection for time correction).
Taking advantage of Continental's sensor fusion technology as part of the ContiGuard safety concept, the vehicle is able to track all objects as they enter into the sensors' field of view.
