Toward a 3D Hand Gesture Multi-threaded Programming Environment

Software programming for concurrent execution is not a simple task. The main issue related to this work is the lack of visibility of the multiple and parallel execution over the threads. Multi core processor technology is a reality nowadays and the only way to use modern hardware at its full capacity lays in the use of concurrent software. In this paper, we present a new 3D framework, based on hand gestures that manipulate multiple threads of execution and to deal with the visibility issues, using a 3D programming environment.
