Motion-Controlled Driver

The Gyro by Black & Decker is the first power tool to use the home-improvement industry’s equivalent of gesture control: The screwdriver senses a user’s motion and spins the bit accordingly. There’s no trigger. Grasping the handle activates a gyroscope, and a microprocessor translates a flick of the wrist into the speed and direction of rotation. In the future, it could migrate to more tools and arm a gen-eration of gamers, too. $40
