Microsoft is offering Pre-Touch Sensing on their Windows Mobile phones. They’ve learnt a thing or two from their Kinet system. It’s not officially launched yet and I think it’s still under development, but can expect to see more of this over the coming months.
“The folks at Microsoft Research are working on a new way for you to interact with your smartphone that involves a lot less touching than usual.
The idea is that you should be able to control apps, browse through content and adjust settings simply by gliding your fingers over the screen, without actually touching it.”
