Motion-Gesture


Google is filing a new patent that seeks to protect the use of motion-based gestures to control an Android device hands-free, By putting a Motion sensor beside the front facing camera of the phone, Same concept that Microsoft Xbox Kinect is using.

Taps, swipes and hovering would be the signals to have the device carry out a pre-programmed task, With a single tap on the front camera the user could then use a gesture to search and control web pages for example, or play/pause/shuffle Music, Answer/End calls, Switch silent Mode ON/OFF and so on...


Patent


The hands-free concept has been done before. The Pantech Vega LTE, sold only in Korea, uses its front-facing camera to allow users to make a waving gesture to answer a call, flip an ebook page, browse pictures in the gallery or change a song. Check out the video below to see how the phone works. And while not important to its hands-free use, we should also point out that the Pantech Vega LTE offers a 4.5 inch LCD display with one of the highest pixel density counts we have seen at 335ppi.
