TL;DR: The Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope (NEAT) as discussed by the authors is designed to carry out space-borne extremely high-precision measurements at the 0.05 mu as (1 sigma) accuracy level, sufficient to detect dynamical effects due to orbiting planets of mass even lower than Earth's around the nearest stars.

Selection of Large-Scale 3D Point Cloud Data Using Gesture Recognition
Robin Burgess,A. J. Falcão,Tiago Fernandes,Rita A. Ribeiro,M. Gomes,Alberto Krone-Martins,André Moitinho de Almeida +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents an interface for defining volumes to select 3D point cloud data that uses hand gesture control with a Leap Motion device, and illustrates with a large astronomical data archive hosted on the cloud that is retrieved on as-needed basis.
