The EyeMobile Engine is a software based solution that utilizes the existing camera on mobile phones to control and navigate your cellphone’s user interface menu, maps, applications and games through real-time motion control by tilting the handset. It is available for Symbian S60, UIQ, BREW and Linux mobile platforms. It is somewhat similiar to Vibetonz Mobile Player [review], another touchscreen based tactile force feedback solution for mobile devices.

Key features include of EyeMobile Engine include:

+ Control & navigate mobile phone user interface and perform actions such as answering calls, making a menu selection or scrolling, pan, and zooming.

+ Control games with hand motion
EyeMobile enables you to use real-life motion for game control: Driving, Flying, Throwing, Shooting and Fly-casting

+ Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake, Rock, and Roll are the EyeMobile Engine’s three levels of tracking. Shake provides the amount of “shake” as a single value that the programmer can use as an input for such actions as shuffling MP3 play lists, throwing dice, etc. Rock is a gesture recognition system built on top of the Roll engine; Roll provides joystick-style input control.

+ Shake
The EyeMobile Shake extension provides developers with a “force of motion” control interface. Applications can then be controlled by how vigorously the user shakes the mobile device. Whenever a frenetic user-action is appropriate, the EyeMobile Shake extension may be implemented.

+ Rock & Roll
The EyeMobile RocknRoll extension provides the ability to control an application either by rocking the mobile device (i.e. flicking forward and back or side to side) or rolling it (i.e. tilting it from side to side or up and down). The RocknRoll extension presents the opportunity to control applications based upon rock, roll, or a combination of the two. With Rock, you can use the flick of a wrist to answer a call or simulate a throw. Use Roll to turn the pages of a document or for steering and navigation. Combine Rock and Roll to simulate mouse or joystick control.

One of the games currently available based on the EyeEngine platform includes “Hot Shot Photo D.A.R.T.S” which allows you to play darts by simply aiming and moving your camera phone to control the action.
