Use this feature (Air Gesture) to control functions without touching the screen.
Before using this feature, make sure the air gesture feature is activated. On the Home screen, tap Apps → Settings → My device → Motions and gestures → Air gesture, and then drag the Air gesture switch to the right.
The device may not recognise your gestures if you perform them too far from the device or while wearing dark-coloured clothes, such as gloves.
