eyeSight introduces gesture control tech to India

Micromax A85 Superfone supports the 'Beyond Touch' feature.

While phones with buttons have gradually seen a decline to make way for touchscreens, eyeSight plans to eradicate the need for touch with its gesture control technology.

Indian phone manufacturer Micromax has welcomed eyeSight tech into its A85 Superfone, which will enable the user to control the device through a series of hand motions.

The motions can control tasks including:
* Answering calls
* eBook page scrolling
* Music play
* Photo views
* Gameplay

The A85 is powered by Android 2.2 Froyo and is available for a Gingerbread upgrade. It also features a 3.8-inch touchscreen, 1.0 Ghz dual core processor and 'console quality' gaming.

Rahul Sharma, executive director, Micromax, said: "Indian consumers have a great appetite for innovative technology adoption and this inspired us to come up with a product which is leaps ahead of the current generation of smartphones.

"We think that the new Superfone category of phones will help existing feature phone users to make an easy transition to eyeSight’s latest technology innovation of gesture control integrated into Micromax’s products."

China and South Korea have already been introduced to eyeSight's tech and the firm is confident India will also see a successful adoption.

The A85 Superfone retails at 15290 Indian rupees, which is approximately £190.
