Samsung Launches ‘Optical Joystick’ Phone

Samsung Electronics is launching a mobile phone featuring an optical joystick for a whole new mobile experience, reports HuliQ.com.

"Samsung 's latest ‘Optical Joystick' Phone (Model: SCH-V960 ) is suited technology that may revolutionize the way users interact with the menu and user interface of mobile handsets.

Users utilize the optical joystick key by placing their finger and moving a cursor to navigate through the menu, similar to a cursor of a mouse on a PC.

Optical sensors will read and react to users' finger movement, thus breaking down the traditional four-way menu navigation and providing 360 degrees of freedom. "
