You'll Soon Be Able to Control an Apple Watch Using Hand Gestures

I believe Mudra has sent bands out to early adopters. That is probably all we will see from Mudra as they spent years taking people's money with little to show for it.

CMRA did the same thing with the double camera watch band. I don't think they ever got off the ground, but they spent YEARS telling people the bands were "just around the corner."

I really can’t believe they’ve figure out how to do this. Getting such fine on-screen control from specific arm, hang or finger actions is just crazy cool. Apple is definitely thinking outside the box, and the fact that it doesn’t require the next gen Watch is just next level.

I'm hoping the watch doesn't get confused when you're doing regular chores or work activity.

Once again Apple creates the interfaces of the future in the name of accessibility

I freaking called this! This is THE first step to Apple AR glasses for navigation and input in a private and silent manner.

i feel like they started with the shake to undo too...

I call that feature “shake to put up an alert that I need to dismiss, because I didn’t really shake an’s I don’t want to undo”

This is a great new addition to my existing forearm workout. And at no additional cost. Thanks Apple

How Samsung is planning to copy these features?

Good thing I wear watch on left wrist and pee with right hand. Don’t want to accidentally answer calls like that when I am busy.

That’s so cool. I can only pee with my wiener. 😔

Am I dreaming?
What's going on?
Good news from Apple day after day. It's like they actually trying to regain that perception of being innovative.
Well, Good job! Very welcome. Can't wait.

I just want it to play a gun being cocked when I make finger guns, then play gunfire when I put my thumb down.

Considering that current Apple Watch setting functions are extremely buggy as is, I’m not too excited for this. The raise/lower functions barely work currently. There’s no way in hell it’ll be able to detect subtle muscle and tendon movements lol.

This feels more like a late April Fools joke if you were to ask me. Just saying. Interesting though.

 

[R1PPER]

How about you concentrate on battery life apple. lol.

 

[J___o___h___n]

Amazing. Well done Apple.

 

[George Dawes]

Now this is seriously impressive

 

[andreiru]

Wow, was this an April fools release leak? Thought control in the works!

 

[lanomds1]

Completely mind-blowing

That right there is why we need to make damn sure they never put a camera on this thing!!!

Are you concerned of squeezing or pinching?

This is fantastic! WWDC looks promising.

i use it sometimes, i use it sometimes (deniro's voice from snl)

clench and pinch look awesome! I will definitely be using those features. The cursor looks verrrrrryyyyy hard to use. Hopefully i can activate clench and pinch and leave the curser turned off.

That said, I'm sure the curser will be a welcomed feature for limited mobility customers.
