The Palm Pre uses this beautiful first-boot welcome video to introduce the user to the new gestures and UI.
Microsoft just announced Project Natal, a periferal for the Xbox 360 that includes gesture interface along with a voice command. I have been waiting a while for those to be combined in a meaningful way. Gesture interfaces have become more prevalent but the problem is that the more abstract the command the harder it is to figure out which gesture to use, so you end up having to remember which gesture to use. This degrades the experience to something closer to the command line interface. Now, with the aide of voice command, you might be able to approach a command from different angles. If you don’t recall that waving is what turns off the machine. Then you can just try saying “turn-off” or “Bye-Bye”.
