It’s not my cup of tea, but I’m sure any enthusiastic Cubase user with a knack for using this style of technology will enjoy iC Air. However, it’s likely a lot of people will love the idea and learn to pick it up straight away, it’s no doubt impressive. If you’ve already used your mouse and keyboard to check your Twitter, do a post on Facebook, flick through your emails and open up your DAW, surely the use of a mouse and keyboard is a lot more effective than the gesture control aspect. Steinberg recently unveiled their new add-on for Cubase 7 called iC Air, a gesture controller for the software. But it just seems like more of a novelty rather than something practical and useful. No doubt it’s a step forward for the future of music production and it does open up a lot of doors for interactivity between the user and the software. Steinberg also have the dev team at Intel on board, with plans to expand into speech recognition, individual finger tracking and facial analysis. In the way that you’d be trying to press something on your iPhone but it’s so small that you keep hitting the wrong thing. Steinberg has announced a free add-on for Cubase 7 which enables users to control various parameters through hand gestures.

I could understand the use of this technology within games as a recreational aspect but in terms of more intricate software like DAWs such as Cubase and software like Final Cut Pro, I could see the whole gesture controller element being quite messy and frustrating. Now personally, the whole idea of waving your hands around in front of your computer screen seems a bit absurd, I have read something previously about the use of sonic pulses being used in phones to control apps and games in a similar way.
