TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

eyeSight, a leader in touch-free interfaces for digital devices, today announces the availability of an advanced gesture control solution for the Windows 8 user interface. eyeSights eyeCan now allows users to control windows, applications, media, the Metro UI, etc. with a flick of the wrist, and to use a virtual mouse/pointer from across the room, (eyePoint). With eyeSights technology OEMs can quickly and easily offer a unique level of convenience, fun and usability in their customers Windows 8 experience.

eyeSights software-only technology has been designed to be incredibly quick and simple to integrate, over-and-above anything else in the market. In fact, eyeSight offers a solution whereby OEMs have no need to interact with the Windows 8 code at all.

eyeSights groundbreaking eyeKeys application allows gestures to be mapped to existing keyboard shortcuts, virtual keypress events, touch events, etc. Applications such as; Powerpoint, Media, Photo gallery, web browsing, reader applications, the music player and various Metro UI applications can almost instantly be gesture enabled by simply mapping a gesture to a specific keyboard shortcut, mouse event, etc. eyeSight also offers OEMs an easy-to-use SDK, allowing OEMs to quickly integrate gesture control function into the features and applications at a code level.

eyeSights technology is designed to work even with cameras of low or varying quality. eyeSight therefore presents the best real world solution for companies looking for easy-to-integrate, cost-effective, high-performance gesture control.

And as hardware-based solutions incur significant costs, time and real-estate issues, software is clearly the best way to achieve this.

Other solutions require that users adapt to perform slightly stiff or fixed movements to recognize gestures. eyeSights software, on the other hand, is designed to recognize various natural ways in which users perform gestures. Customers will flock to the devices that provide the most comfortable and natural user-experience, and so we have put this requirement front-and-centre.

eyeSights technology is compatible with all major operating systems; Apples iOS, Android and Linux as well as previous Windows versions. eyeSights technology can also be developed to work on more bespoke platforms, such as automotive infotainment or navigation systems.

The increasing popularity of social networking sites, especially in the Middle East, can be used to the advantage of businesses that wish to grow, which in turn can create economic value, a research conducted by Deloitte has revealed.

The fourth edition of the Arab Media Outlook, or AMO -- done in collaboration with Deloitte -- showed that social media has grown significantly across the Arab World, with Facebook along shooting up 80 per cent in 2011.

Furthermore, Facebook's impact on the global economy was also apparent in the Deloitte study entitled "Measuring Facebook's Economic Impact in Europe", where it was found to create economic value through enabling ecosystems.

According to the study, Facebook embodies a new generation of social media organisations that have a significant global impact.

As per Facebook's recently published figures, the Middle East and North Africa region has 45 million monthly active users and 20 million mobile monthly active users on the social network.

The AMO report showed that digital is in fact the fastest growing platform in the region and accounted for four per cent of the total advertising spend in 2011. However, it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 35 per cent from 2011 to 2015, generating approximately $580 million by 2015 across the region. It will account for an estimated 10 per cent of the total advertising spend by 2015.

"Companies and advertisers are aware of the widespread use and importance of Facebook throughout the region, and have tailored their digital strategies to target Middle Eastern users through the platform," said Santino Saguto, partner in charge for the telecommunications, media and technology industry at Deloitte Middle East. "However, it is a tool that needs to be used properly. It is not just a matter of investing in advertising on Facebook. Rather, companies need to manage a social community."

Facebook penetration across most Arab countries reached double digit figures and there is still room for growth, given that female participation is relatively low in some countries such as Egypt, the AMO report found out.

Markets such as Egypt added close to two million new Facebook users in the first quarter of 2011 alone.

The AMO further indicates that over 90 per cent of all internet users in the UAE are on social networking sites like Facebook.

Social Media Use Can Help Boost Business Growth

WASHINGTON (AP) - At least in politics, "tax" is a four-letter word.

So when the Supreme Court ruled that the penalty for not obtaining health insurance is constitutional because it works like a tax, politicians began squirming over what to call that Thing in President Barack Obama's health care law.

The problem for Obama is that, if the Thing is indeed a tax, he is by definition a raiser of taxes on the middle class, which he promised not to be.

If that sounds like an opportunity for Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney, well, it's not that simple.

Obama's health care law is closely modeled on the universal-coverage plan Romney achieved as Massachusetts governor, which contains a penalty for noncompliance similar to the one in the federal law upheld by the court last week.

So if Obama is a raiser of taxes, so is Romney.

Contortions have ensued.

Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom strayed from Republican talking points when he told MSNBC that Romney agrees with Justice Antonin Scalia's minority opinion that "very clearly stated that the mandate was not a tax."

That position is at odds with congressional Republicans who are determined to portray the penalty as an Obama tax pure and simple.
