Woohoo! ... 1 prediction down, 4 to go. I told you all about "hands-free" or gesture-control computing ... and it's coming from Intel and of course, using Microsoft OS although we're not sure which version. "Intel has shown off gesture-controlled ultrabooks with built-in tilt sensors and touch-free credit card readers. The chip maker said more than 75 laptop models - with less advanced features - are in the pipeline this year. The US firm told a Consumer Electronics Show press conference that it planned to launch its biggest marketing campaign in nearly a decade to back the format, starting in April. The move may help the firm offset slowing desktop PC sales. Mooly Eden, the vice president and general manager of Intel's PC group, dedicated most of his presentation to the user-experience that ultrabooks offer, giving only brief mention to the technology behind its upcoming Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors."
