10 Years Into The Future of Search; The Year 2030

There are already beta tests going with mobile devices where hand gestures and eye movements actually navigate a user around the phone and web searches done online. No touching required. The camera identifies hand motions and learns on its own to adapt to the person controlling the device.

Just like Siri learns and adapts to Voice Searches and adjusts itself based on the different voice, accent and slur patterns of the user, soon we will be controlling technology with our eyes and waving our hands in the air.
