hey everyone I'm Jessica's all court proceeded here at the Tizen developer conference in San Francisco what I've got is a demo here of gesture control on a regular ordinary Samsung gear 2 SmartWatch so Samsung's research team out of Spain has put gesture control on this device and with it you can play a game you can turn music volume up were down you can maybe turn on and off the light switches air conditioning that sort of thing so it's pretty simple you basically engage the app and you want to use you tap on the screen make a very clear decided motion and return to the start position and that tells whatever app contextually that you're working with that you want to fulfill that task so for an example we're going to play a little game it's called evil fish so to play the game I start the fish goes down my wrist goes down and back up to the start position and I'm knocked him out take that you evil fish I'm really good at this game apparently today apart from developers and apart from the engineer as I'm the only person who's played this game so in the future they're going to add pushing and pulling but for right now we've just got the four directions north south east and west I want them to add actual punching so right now I'm in the music player remote I tap the screen i make my movement the right to either turn on the song or to advance it if it's done I can press the screen again and raise my arm to increase the volume I can also lower my arm to decrease the volume and if I want to stop I just tap the screen and I move my arm to the left and then back to the start position once again this is all in preview phase right now when are we going to see the technology and real devices like the gear too we don't know yet but hopefully soon I'm just a good ol court for cnet you can catch even more great videos at cnet com
