ArcSoft Demos Camera Phone Technology

Camera phones have surely come a long way from their VGA days, and these days it is not uncommon to find special lenses in these handsets although they aren’t up to par with a dedicated digital camera just yet. ArcSoft aims to bridge the gap at MWC by introducing three new technologies – the FaceTracking, Smile Detection and Blink Detection categories which will be explained in greater detail after the jump. Guess picture shooting on your cell phone will never be the same again.
