There is also Air Gesture to scroll up and down while browsing  or wave your hand to navigate through your phone or accept a call.

S Health:  The Galaxy S4 Uses the S4’s onboard sensors to track and estimate personal fitness. It has a food tracker to keep an eye on how much calories you are consuming.
