Microsoft releases Gestures Beta app to add new Windows Phone features

Microsoft has released a new app - called Gestures Beta - to add new functions to Windows smartphones.

With Gestures you can control some of the functionalities of your phone without touching the display. 
Our first release will enable you to control calls and silence your phone conveniently. You can:
- Answer a call by picking up your phone and putting it to you ear
- Mute your mic during a call by placing the phone on a flat surface with the display facing down
- Put the call on speaker by placing the phone on a flat surface with the display facing up
- Silence the incoming call ringer by flipping device display down.

You'll note that the app in still in beta testing stage so there may still be some glitches.

Microsoft also says you won't get full functions if you're using the Lumia 630, 636 or 530.
