Control your S60 phone by performing hand gestures in front of its camera(s)

That has to be the longest title on S60 INFO yet. I apologize, but I could not find a shorter way to express this.

EyeSight's EyePlay for S60 allows you to control gameplay by moving your hand in front of your phone's camera. It can apparently work with both the 'normal' camera and the front one (put there presumably for video calls, if anyone uses that). This is not something available to end-users, it is meant for game producers.

What is more interesting is that they seem to also have developed this technology for controlling other things such as the music player on your S60 device. This is not unheard of, Sony Ericsson have recently released a phone that has such a feature, but it's nice to know that this might be coming to S60 as well. Hopefully the phone-controlling part will be released as an app available for end-users.
