Most of our orders are from repeat customers. Parts-People began as a small company 20 years ago in an extra bedroom of my house. I had saved a small sum of money to purchase some computer parts and began selling them on eBay. After a few months I realized that people needed a place to go for Dell parts so I began building our website. Since we are located in Austin, Texas, where Dell.com was founded, I was able to set up a solid supply line with Dell. From the start, we focused on customer satisfaction and selling quality parts. We have grown a lot since 2002 but still and always the customer will come first. You will find that we go above and beyond with every order and offer free resources and support before and after the sale.

The Type-Hover-Swipe is the latest work shown off by Microsoft’s Research team in the motion-control category. It is part of the latest trend in gesture control, similar to projects such as Leap Motion, and the Nod Ring. The division created a mechanical keyboard that has the ability to interpret hand gestures performed on or immediately above the keys. In fact, it has 64 sensors for detecting basic hand movements, “potentially bridging the gap between touch devices and more traditional input methods”. Microsoft has been working on the project for a year and a half, and recently presented the idea at the Computer Human Interaction (CHI) conference in Toronto.
As an example, swiping the hand over the left or right side of the keyboard commands the left and right corresponding side menus in Windows 8. Why not just use the keyboard? Well, the goal of this method is for the user to keep their hands close to the device while using input gestures to replace existing keyboard shortcuts. The “Alt” and “Tab” combination is one example the keyboard understands by a simple hand movement. Additionally, Microsoft made sure the learning curve is low. Even the more complicated keyboard shortcuts have super simple gestures.
Gesture control is great for activities like scrolling through photos, menus, or reading along web pages. The Microsoft keyboard should not be thought of as a mouse replacement, but rather a “fine-grain navigation, which would still be performed with a mouse or touchpad”. There is a lot of fine-tuning to be done, however. This isn’t unlike the Microsoft Kinect, which reads the entire body’s movements via a sensor, it just isn’t as perfected. An array of 16 x 4 infrared sensors are embedded in a printed circuit board. These sensors are in pairs, one of which emits infrared light, while the other reads that light being reflected back. These lights track the movement of the hand as they touch the keys or hover above. Below is a video demo of the Type-Hover-Swipe prototype. The project team hopes to move onto a wireless version, which could be used in entertainment systems to switch through movies, apps, and more.
