It looks like Leap motion but for iPhone. Would be curious to see if its possible for cover to work not only when its against a surface.

For those interested: They build a cover that acts as sensor and communicates with the iPhone via Bluetooth LTE[1] with the phone. So Alex's comparision with leap motion is spot-on correct. I am kinda "disappointed". I hoped at first that they use the gyro of the iphone to understand where the vibration comes from. Apart of this growth limitation a very exciting product!

Looks like the kind of technology that Apple would eventually acquire, if it really works that smooth.

@andreasklinger agreed. there is a sort-of similar concept with a sound-based tap recognition http://www.producthunt.co/posts/...

FANTASTIC landing page. Thanks for the details, @andreasklinger. You beat me to the question. :)

@rrhoover That is a very cool landing page! I've rarely heard the use of audio on a landing page - have you seen anything like this? It's also interesting how they placed so much emphasis on recruiting for their landing page. Most companies stick their "jobs" page on a tiny tab at the footer. This is a bold approach.

My first thought was how rarely I use my phone on a flat surface so I'd be interested in how it'll work outside of that. Cool concept though.
