Pantech: Play with a smile or a wink

Pantech has announced the IM-U170, a mobile phone which uses the face camera not only for video calls, but also for navigation. The camera recognizes facial movements and from what we understand expressions and makes the data available to applications. This system allows you to play games without touching any buttons. As usual, we don’t know if we will ever see the device outside of Korea, but it sure sounds great for innovative play to me.
