Today, 28 November, Apple was granted a patent for technology that allows you to use gestures to control your Mac. It is reported by Patently Apple.

The patent specifically describes how to activate a new control mode. To do this, use the gesture “focus”.

“To activate a non-tactile three dimensional user interface, you must perform a hand gesture, which is in the field of view of a special device in the computer. The gesture includes a first movement in the first direction along a selected axis in space, followed by a second movement in a second direction opposite the first direction, along the selected axis.”

After that, for Mac can be used for more gestures.
