FartControl - New eyeSight's
Motion-based App Available In The Store

I already wrote few times about touchless control interface for camera phones based on the innovative eyeSight's eyePlay Engine.

The core technology is based on the image processing and algorithms that utilize the phone camera together with user hand movements and translate them to commands that control the UI.

Now I am happy to report that eyeSight has just launched a new app; FartControl which is now available in the Store. What's special about FartControl is that game is based on touchless control interface like all others eyeSight's games and uses device's camera to determine when and how to make all the sounds it does.

So you can basically keep your phone hidden and embarrass your unsuspecting friends all without having to touch a button – they’ll never know what hit them! Cool, huh? This is a prime example of a developer using our easy-to-use APIs and even easier go-to-market channels to make a groundbreaking app and publish it at the Store.

If you want something a little more “respectable”; eyeSight also have a number of other “Touch Free” apps you can play by using hand gestures only.

With the Fortune Cookies app you can “crush” a virtual fortune cookie with a tap of your hand above the phone to read your fortune, or go kill some bad guys in Ninja Strike by throwing Ninja Stars using a real throwing motion in front of the phones camera. Lastly, you can play a fun game of Truth or Dare with your friends by spinning a virtual bottle with a “Whoosh!” of the hand above the device.
