Huawei throws R&D dollars at gesture control, cloud storage, being more \'disruptive\'

Undeterred by the truth that even humans struggle to interpret certain gestures, Huawei says it's allocating a piece of its growing R&D budget to new motion-sensing technology for smartphones and tablets. The company's North American research chief, John Roese, told Computerworld that he desires to allow "three-dimensional interaction" with devices using stereo front-facing cameras and a strong GPU to make sense of the twin video feed. Separately, the Chinese telecoms company can also be putting development cash right into a cloud computing project that promises to "change the economics of storage by an order of magnitude." Roese provided scant few details in this particular ambition, but did mention that Huawei has teamed up with CERN to conduct research and has somehow accumulated over 15 petabytes of experimental physics data within the process. Whatever it's as much as, Huawei had better get a move on -- others are snapping up gesture recognition and cloud patents faster than you're able to say fa te ne una bicicletta along with your hands.
