Samsung Introduces World’s First ”3-dimensional Movement Recognition” Phone

Samsung Electronics has released a handset with an ‘Accelerometer’, which allows it to “accurately calculate and ascertain movement in three dimensional space and then carry out commands according to those calculations”.
“This technology will do away with the need for complex keypads on mobile phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and other handheld products. This will particularly effect the way games are played on a mobile phone. Many functions will be controlled by movement instead of buttons.” I can see the benefit of this, especially if you team it with Icuit Video Eyewear to effectively create an immersive world you can use your mobile to interact with, like a light saber or gun. I assume you can turn the function off, and aren’t forced to keep the phone completely still when you don’t want to use it…
