Google is filing a new patent that seeks to protect the use of motion-based gestures to control an Android device hands-free, By putting a Motion sensor beside the front facing camera of the phone, Same concept that Microsoft Xbox Kinect is using.

Video Demo Here

Taps, swipes and hovering would be the signals to have the device carry out a pre-programmed task, With a single tap on the front camera the user could then use a gesture to search and control web pages for example, or play/pause/shuffle Music, Answer/End calls, Switch silent Mode ON/OFF and so on...

The hands-free concept has been done before. The Pantech Vega LTE, sold only in Korea, uses its front-facing camera to allow users to make a waving gesture to answer a call, flip an ebook page, browse pictures in the gallery or change a song. Check out the video below to see how the phone works. And while not important to its hands-free use, we should also point out that the Pantech Vega LTE offers a 4.5 inch LCD display with one of the highest pixel density counts we have seen at 335ppi.

Google plans to launch glasses with a heads-up display by the end of 2012, the New York Times reports citing sources familiar with the matter. The glasses, who were previously rumored to have a front-facing camera with flash and a voice input interface, will be Android based, sources say.

They will include a display, mere inches from the wearer eye, streaming real-time info about your surroundings, similar to the various augmented reality applications we have seen on smartphones.

As Seen on "Iron Man" Movie!

The data will be fetched through a 3G/4G data connection, and the glasses will retrieve information about their surroundings through GPS and several sensors. The glasses will cost "around the price of current smartphones" sources say. While definitely not very precise current smartphones cost anywhere from $150 to $600 this price range shows that Google intends the glasses as a product for the mass market.
