Nokia Patents Gesture Controls

Nokia has yet to invent touch-based interface a mainstream method of navigation on its handsets, but that could soon change with news of the Finnish cell phone manufacturer leaking out that it is working on gesture control for cell phones in a recent patent that was filed in January that year. that patent will involve an ultrasonic-based system that is able to tell where your fingers are pointing at the display, and can even detect basic gestures such as opening

and closing one’s hand to manipulate a Web browser. Sounds rather far fetched? We think that most folks will settle for touchscreen displays instead since that is much more undoubtful compared to gesture controls. What do you think?
