05 Jan 10 Gesture-recognition technology applied to mobile phones

How would you like dial a number for a cellular phone without even touching the phone? This is apparently the tech from researchers at Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory in Tokyo, which is sort of like Project Natal for your phone.

It works by putting a camera on the cell that can shoot at 154 frames per second, and is capable of somehow recognizing the user’s finger. In all honesty, I was hoping that you could just use your finger to control your phone, not use it as a Wiimote! We’ll see if this technology takes off.

There’s a video after the jump.
