Texas Instruments' dual-core OMAP4 chipset guarantees gesture-controlled phones soon

Texas Instruments in collaboration with Extreme Reality is working to bring to our phones the much needed motion controls. Texas Instruments recently announced the dual-core OMAP4 chipset, which has image signal processing, capable of recognizing bodily gestures. These gestures are based on the input from a cheap 2D camera. And, as the next year comes, Texas Instruments and Extreme Reality have collaborated to bring this technology to OMAP4 phones. Together, they also demoed touchless gesture recognition system. Taking in consideration that Texas Instruments has bought equity stake in Extreme Reality, it seems, soon we might be weaving and snapping at phones to scroll or zoom it.
