14 DAY TRIAL // Today, developer of Hand Gesture Interface solutions for mobile phones and consumer electronics devices eyeSight Mobile Technologies announced the launch of a new application aimed at mobile phone users fond of listening to music on their handsets.
According to the company, this new, unique software solution is meant to enable mobile phone users to control the MP3 player on their handsets with simple hand gestures.
“The Hand Gesture Interface that offers interaction Beyond Touch, has been enthusiastically adopted by users of touch screen devices,” said Itay Katz eyeSight’s founder & CEO.
“We are in talks with mobile phone manufactures to license the Hand Gesture Interface to be integrated into new smartphones.”
eyeSight Mobile Technologies also announced that its Touch Free Interface technology was used to control the “Moove” MP3 Player, which was offered only for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic users.
It seems that the solution was a quite popular one, and that it managed to register no less than half a million downloads from Nokia’s Ovi Store in roughly four months since it has been released.
“The application dominated OVI’s Top Downloads list for this device,” the company announced via a press release.
The company also notes that the “Moove” MP3 player enables users to play or stop tracks, not to mention that they would be able to skip between songs, all being done via gestures above the frontal camera of the mobile phone.
“So, for instance, people who are running on a treadmill can simply place the device on the treadmill deck and skip songs while running without touching the device,” the company notes.
When driving, one can operate the device through the simple wave of the hand, something that would enable them to control the music player or the handset's navigation system without having to look at the device to find its controls.
“The Touch Free technology can be applied to any camera-enabled device, including mobile phones, navigation systems, netbooks, MP3 players and more,” the company concludes.
