Ultrasound Gesture Controls by Qualcomm at UpLinq China 2011

ultrasound gesture control http://www.netbooknews.com Check out a demo of a smartphone picking up hand gestures via the use of ultrasound sensors. The technology uses a handset's microphone to figure out hand positioning and movement. It means you don't have to actually touch the screen, with Jacobs wheeling his way through an image carousel just by waving near the device. Good news for those who loathe smudges and greasy finger prints. Qualcomm indicated that the new gesture control could find its way into smartphones and tablets by the end of 2012, and that it will be embedded into the company's future chips.

why would i want to wave my hand across my phone..

[Macrowallpaper]

Ach und das ist Viellicht schön anzusehn aber ansonsten eher was für Phobie Leute.

Mensch die paar millimeter kann ich die Hand auch noch heranführen und drüberstreichen.

Saubermachen muss ich das Display ja eh.

Hey Leute hab mal ne Frage Bezüglich "Günstigen" Tablets ob man davon die Finger lassen sollte oder nicht und zwar: bei Ebay unter den Suchwort Tablet Android 2.2 und ALLE UNTER 100€???

kann man es versuchen oder Spart man Sich die Enttäuschung. Anderseits such ich eines für unterwegs da ich Fotografiere und gern auf einem Großen Bildschirm die Bilder kontrollieren möchte was mit meiner EOS 1000D nicht so Praktisch ist. Habt ihr da Vielleicht Empfehlungen?

The phone looks terrible and that ultrasound looks less response than just simple touching the screen... fail tech

[TheRonak1993]

Awesome tech but it would more practical for (large) displays and screens on which one can work or present a presentation as compared to smartphones and small tablets. But BRILLIANT NONETHELESS!!

"ultrasonic energy has two potential physiological effects: it enhances inflammatory response; and it can heat soft tissue." wikipedia/wiki/Ultrasound

how far does the ultra sound frequency go for it to be receptive onto the screen? what are the long term health effects of constant ultra sound usage?
