Android phones can now use their camera features to call up commands using hand gestures. Thanks to eyesight Technologies, developer of NUI (Natural User Interface) solutions, for just launching their technology to the Android platform.

By utilizing a device’s front facing camera, real-time processing and machine vision algorithms, simple hand gestures can now be translated into commands that control various functions on your phone. The technology offers a truly remarkable software solution that maximizes an Android device’s CPU, power consumption and memory usage.

Recently, the mobile technology sphere has seen a number of “think outside the box” user interface integrations that enable people to engage with their devices in a more natural way. The recent implementation of SWYPE, a text input feature for screens has changed the behavior of how people interact with a virtual keyboard. No doubt, eyesight Technologies, with the use of intuitive hand gestures to call up certain smartphone commands will definitely play a major role in changing the landscape of how we use our devices.

“A good technology is an invisible one. eyeSight’s Touch Free Interface technology for Android-based devices introduces exactly that – a new level of interaction that is natural, intuitive and simple to use,” said Itay Katz eyeSight’s Founder & CEO. “Users are looking for ways to ease, improve and enjoy their day to day interaction with their mobile phone, ideally aiming to gain effortless control of the device’s applications and functions, which is where eyeSight’s solution comes to place, answering exactly this need.”

eyesight Technologies has also been involved in developing and adapting their Touch Free User Interface for mobile games. After having showcased their technology at the 2009 Mobile Game Forum in London, the message was clear – mobile game interaction was clearly taken up a notch. Their earlier invitation to the Nokia Developer Summit last year in Monaco even had device manufacturers and developers drooling.

Today, they’ve launched their technology for Android and this is certainly going to help improve the Android experience. At yesterday’s WWDC10 and Jobs’ presentation of the new iPhone iOS4 and all its goodies, the future of mobile devices just keeps on getting sexier!

eyesight Technologies will be present at CommunicAsia 2010 event in Singapore (June 15-18). If you would like to schedule a demo, you can send an email to CommunicAsia@eyesight-tech.com.
