Samsung Mobile Phone Patent Calls For Hand-Based Motion Controls!!!
This gesture recognition stuff is starting to go too far. We've already seen the implementation of motion sensing in the Nintendo Wii, but now Samsung is getting you to wave your hands around with a new cell phone as well. The difference is that you aren't waving the phone around.
Instead, the patent makes use of the camera integrated into the handset and then it reads the motions of your hands, translating those gestures into commands.
