Face Recognition App

---

Do you think someone will make an app that will detect your face and unlock the phone now that we have a front facing camera. Also what is the motion sensor used for?

That'd be awesome

Sweet. Hopefully it's hacked with front camera access and the ability to enable it by holding the volume rocker to do the scan. Hopefully you don't wake up one day looking really ugly.

Lots to hope for LOL

It would be nice to have the camera key on the side though. There already a couple of face "detection" apps out there, not recognition though. Photofunia, in market, takes face and puts in various backrounds, works well

One example of the motion sensor is that when someone calls you, the Evo quiets the ringtone when it detects you've moved your phone with the intent to pick up the call.

It's actually a proximity sensor, used to turn the screen off when it's held close to your face. The feature of the ringer quieting on pickup uses the accelerometer.

So what does the motion sensor do?

I think he means "accelerometer" when he says "motion sensor"

NOPE

The Light sensor via front of HD2 disables touchscreen of device when held close to face! The motion sensor is used for screen rotate and other apps that work well with phone positioning commands!
