Default Audio Clouds: Gesture- and Audio-Based Mobile Device Interaction

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4398439.stm

"Changing tracks on digital music players of the future while on the move could be done with the nod of the head. Building on previous work, researchers at the University of Glasgow have been developing "audio clouds" to control gadgets using movement and sound. Presenting their work at a US computer interface conference, they say audio clouds could make using mobile devices on the move safer and easier."



I'm not sure I want to violently shake my cell phone like that, but it might be interesting for the more subtle gestures -- how about "tap" on the Pocket PC in my pocket if I want to stop the music? What gestures would you like to interface with? You can see the homepage of the project here for more details.

The problem i've always found with gestures, of just about any kind, is accidentally using them :@
