Samsung’s Unique Motion-Based Gestures Shown Off [Video]

For one reason or another Samsung didn’t give us this close of a look at some unique features they’ve developed for TouchWiz 4.0 on the Samsung Galaxy S II. They’ve put some of the device’s sensors to work to allow you to do things such as pinch-to-zoom in the web browser and switching homescreens simply by moving your device back and forth or left and right. The exact method used isn’t known, but Engadget guesses it might be using the accelerometer or gyroscope inside. Whatever the case, it’s pretty cool (though I feel it’s a bit of a novelty feature more than something you’re going to be using often). Check out the video above courtesy ofAndroid Community.
