Is the GS4 Airview gesture same hardware as the GS3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this has been asked before. Or if you thought about it. But the GS4 have some Air Gesture features like wave at the screen to answer calls, scroll with eye contact. Well you know those are similar to the one of the S3 but have more features to it. I was looking through some of the libs files on the S3 and the S4. As you see the S3 have libs file for the stay awake when you look at the screen. I figure if porting over those libs files from these features of the S4 and modified the SecSettings to make it enable/disable might work. I think it works with the same hardware sensors of the phone. Also I am not sure if the 4.2.2 leak have those features already in it.
Just a thought though. I know there is 4.2.2 leak and why not just use one of those roms. Well here in the US we are still on 4.1.2 and we would like to have as much as we can.

Air view was seemingly not on my note 10.1 with ics but it came with the jb update so I guess it's not hardware update

S4 have 8 Sensors while our s3 have only 5
and we will get Air Geaster and other kind of features which are based on software
you can try Air Geaster on s3 using this app
S3 Geaster for Music
how ever its only limited on Music but it have the same idea
and for the air view its not possible to our s3 because we dont have the front sensor which does the job for s4
and @note 10.1 update (the sensor on the pen has been updated thats why you have airview)
i always wonder if we do have this sensor by any illegal way
will we be able to use airview?

Now I did not know that the S4 have more sensors than the S3. I thought that these features could be with the same hardware and just to modified libs and smali. But that explain everything. With only 5 sensors I dont know if the phone would be capable of using these features.

i dont know where i read those info
but those 3 more sensors
1 for air view
and the other 2 for digital compass and s-health
but airGeaster use the front camera in Low resolution and detected the hand direction and do the job (thats mean when you are on the galary and you move your hand left or right camera will detect this action and will show the next or the prev, photo how ever its the same idea for the call answering or reject. )
it can be coded easily for all devices only if you know how to code for android
the only thing that it will worth to update for s4 is the display and i will not update to any new samsung device till i see the flixable display's
and i'm only a C# coder

samsung said that the S4 have more 8 sensors idk if this means that it have only 8 sensors or 8 sensors+ those listed above .
