Walky software controls robots trough iPhone's touch screen

How to capture human walking, jumping or playing patterns to virtual characters or humanoid robots? Game controllers and keyboards are limited and pose a problem for beginner users.
Introducing the Walky concept.
Walky software controls a robot trough iPhone's touch screen software.
Yuta Sugiura and his colleagues from Keio University, have developed a new concept for controlling robots and virtual characters.
Bipedal walking robot mimics the human walking where fingers are used as analogy to human legs.
Walky can be used to control walking, turning, jumping, kicking and sidestepping. All this with natural finger gestures as interface.
Finger actions are captured, sent to Walky touch screen software and transferred to the robot.
This provides a very intuitive controlling interface, since users don't need to go through a learning cycle, to understand the instructions.
