Qualcomm has just acquired EPOS, an Israeli based technology development company, EPOS is known for its research & development on the Ultrasound technologies. Qualcomm confirmed that Future Snapdragon chips will make use of EPOS's progress and include the Ultrasoud technology, By using this feature we could move away from current touch-screen technologies .
EPOS Ultrasound technology could be used for stylus and gesture recognition. What this means is that the ultrasound technologies works in three dimensions, both on the display and off the display. So, you could just use gestures in the air to control the device.
"EPOS technology is based on the transmission of ultrasonic acoustic waves between two or more devices via a Transmitter and a software-based Receiver. The Transmitter, embedded within an input device, sends constant acoustic signals to the software-based Receiver that in turn, uses them to measure the distance and position of the pointing device.
Enabling advanced, embedded technologies for both 2 and 3 Dimensional input solutions, EPOS technology uses only standard MEMs microphones, making it low in cost and easy to integrate with only minimal hardware and design changes required." - Qualcomm Press Release
