HTC One M8 offers gesture while screen is off

Meet The HTC One ‘M8′, Available Today With Google Play Edition Shipping Soon | TechCrunch: "The new HTC One offers gesture control, another popular feature among new smartphones. The M8 has what HTC is calling Motion Launch, which is a series of gesture controlled shortcuts to let you activate the screen, answer calls, and turn the lock screen on and off without swiping or tapping. It does this using low-power monitoring of orientation, speed, etc., with its onboard sensors to predict what you’ll want to do when you unlock the device."

Samsung Working With Startup Partners To Add Gesture-Based Smart Home Control To TVs | TechCrunch

TechCrunch reports:

"Samsung is reportedly (via WSJ) preparing for a smart home control interface that uses your smart TV to recognize basic hand gestures, directed at the objects you actually want to control. So, for example, it would allow you to point at a lamp to turn it off or on, or to other nearby objects to affect them in different ways."
