Welcome to Gesturing

Your hand is the new touch­screen.

Point, tap, scroll and go back without touching the glass. Your camera watches your hand, on your own device, and turns it into a cursor.

A very short history of pointing

We have always talked with our hands.

How it sees you

21 points. Every frame.

The camera finds your wrist, knuckles and fingertips many times a second. Gesturing reads the shape they make: a pointing finger, a pinch, a fist, two fingers up.
