Android Gesture Controls (Coming to Android)
Gesture Controls Come To Android With Open Gesture
We have seen several home replacement apps for Android that added new features, but nothing as radically different as Open Gesture. Hollowire is currently beta testing a new app that allows you to launch shortcuts by drawing letters, numbers, and pictures. Simply record the gesture control and assign it a shortcut, then you can quickly access any application or contact from your home screen.
A similar character recognition feature is planned for the next version of Android, code named Donut. It could be months before we see that update, but you can sign up for the Open Gesture beta today.
Visit Hollowire’s site and enter your email for a chance to participate in the private beta.
To get a better feel for Open Gesture, watch the following video of the beta version.

Re: Android Gesture Controls (Coming to Android)
I wonder if the Open Gesture authors are "borrowing" from Google's source repository.
For that matter I wonder if the Home replacements have "borrowed" from Google's source.
I hope they are not.
I blame

Re: Android Gesture Controls (Coming to Android)
I tried this out about 8 hours ago......it's pretty neat, and at the same time, I have my complaints....for one, some of my icons got switched (the ones I made with bettercut) and even when I went back to bettercut to redo them, OG will not allow 'em...weird.
Anyway the writing mechanism is pretty neat, and I like the swivel on the bottom of the screen - reminds me of Rosie somewhat.

It's sort of like having the Rosie scroll at the bottom, or you can just touch which screen you want to go to.
Touch the hand to make a gesture for a short cut, and the arrow for the normal app drawer.
My only complaint is that, it goes back to the stock Open Gesture wallpaper when you turn your phone off.
