GestureTek was showing off some of its gesture-based options for controlling your TV at last year's CES, and it's now back again with a few more slightly interesting pieces of software. That includes a version of its Eyemo software for Android, which is already available for range of other platforms, and lets developers take advantage of a phone's camera to add gesture control options to various applications -- although that only involves gesturing with the device itself, not your hands. The company's recently announced Momo software for Windows Mobile takes things one step further than that, however, and will indeed apparently let you control a game or other application with hand or body gestures -- although that'll likely work best on a device with a front-facing camera.
cool
GestureTek has strong IP portfolio and Technology but it doesnt know how to bring technology to the masses.
For example they licensed their gesture technologies to both micorsoft and sony in 2006 which is similar technology to Natal.They didnt know how to work with partners.Both MS and Sony didnt came up with controller-free gaming though they had technology gor years.Whereas Nintendo had done so well in this niche market..
Problem with MS or Sony or GestureTek?
Proof of MS,Sony license aggrement:

"although that'll likely work best on a device with a front-facing camera"
AKA overseas, where their carriers don't rip out the front camera because they have decent 3G services to be able to offer proper video calling, unlike US carriers who remove that front camera and give us a half-assed video calling solution that never works that's called "Video Share".
Haha, Momo.
They're obviously not from Utah…
