GSMA named GestureTek the overall winner for its handset interface in for the 2008 Mobile Innovation Global Award.
GestureTek's EyeMobile Engine takes mobile gaming and navigation to
new heights. This software-only solution uses the existing camera on a
mobile device to deliver a gesture-based interface to mobile
applications. An entertaining and intuitive alternative to conventional
button interfaces, EyeMobile allows users to do anything they would
normally do with their mobile device, such as play games, answer calls,
make menu selections or scroll, pan and zoom in on photos, simply by
shaking, rocking or rolling their device. With the EyeMobile Engine,
handset manufacturers can offer all of the benefits of gesture
recognition technology, without the expense and real estate of adding
specialized hardware. The EyeMobile Engine Application Programming
Interface (API) also provides application developers with the means to
integrate motion control into their applications, much as they do with
current conventional controls, such as keys and buttons.
