A New Product Controls Your Smart Home with a Wave of Your Finger

By Dwell @dwell
Singlecue hand gesture-recongition device in a living room.

The Singlcue device, seen here just below the TV, was designed to be visually ubobstrusive and blend into any living room. The Singlecue wirelessly connects with a wide range of TVs, cable boxes, media streamers (liek Roku, Apple TV, Xbox One), and even smart lighting like Phillips Hue. Once connected, short movements of your pointer finger can control each system. However, Singlecue's ability to recognize a miniscule finger 16.5 feet away was only half the battle.

A full list of compatible products can be found here; Singlecue will continue to add compatibility with more devices in the future. For example, it will work with the Nest Learning Thermostat in the next few months.

Developed by eyeSight Technologies Ltd., a developer of machine vision and gesture-recongition software, Singlecue could consolidate control of multiple smart home systems with a single control: your finger. It retails for $199 (plus shipping) is available for purchase through their website.
