Well, here’s something you don’t see everyday.  Korean handset manufacturer, Pantech, those duly noted for producing low-end Android devices and other feature phones you’ll never gaze your eyes upon, have recently announced it will be implementing gesture recognition on some Android devices.  You know?  Like that found on Microsoft’s Kinect?  Israel’s eyeSight Mobile Technologies, makers of the new feature state that the technology will be added to a new Vega LTE line of devices which should hit the market running in November some time.

Gestures are useful, eyeSight says, at times when touch input is impractical, such as when driving, wearing gloves, or even eating.

For now, it looks like you’ll at least be able to answer calls and play music on the device using the new gesture technology.  It will certainly be interesting to see what else comes of the feature and how well the public receives it.  One will also have to wonder how many accidental calls or features might be activated as a result of the new technology?  Oh well, let’s remain optimistic and see what’s produced.  In the meantime, check out the video of the lady in a sticky situation and how the new gestures assist in answering an incoming call.  Feel free to speculate in the comments below about what else you think the technology can be used for.  That should be rather interesting, don’t you think?
