Georgia Tech develops gesture system for cellphone games

If the team at Georgia Tech's Mobile Technologies Group has its way, you may soon be waving your cellphone around in order to play games with it. The group has developed a system for gesture-based games that uses the cellphone's camera to track hand movement. Prototype games include a version of Pong in which the player moves the whole phone to the left and right to control a paddle, and a drawing program that they say "demonstrates the various degrees of freedom." We can only imagine what kind of gestures they'll put together so you can play Doom on your phone.
