Gestures Beta app for Lumia Windows Phone devices

We’ve seen Microsoft and Nokia offer some interesting ways to quickly access information or launch apps on Lumia Windows Phone devices, including with Glance Screen and dedicated camera button on many phones. Now Microsoft is back with a new app that lets you control your device without actually touching its screen.

Gestures Beta is a new Windows Phone app that aims you to easily control the phone call functionality of your Windows Phone device. At launch, the app supports four gestures: you can answer a call by picking your phone up and putting it to your ear, mute the mic during a call by placing the phone face down on a flat surface, turn on speakerphone by placing the phone on its back on a flat surface and silence the ringer by laying the phone face down while not in a call.
