Singlecue Gen 1 – Smart home control
NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwired – Oct 18, 2016) – eyeSight Technologies, Designed as a simple solution to controlling home devices through gestures, the new generation of singlecue introduces more intuitive control and creates an upgraded connected home experience that effortlessly reacts to a user’s gestures.
How you can control your existing TV, cable box and other living room devices with simple touchless gestures. We can set it up your TV, then using the application, integrate it with devices around your house. We can set it up any smart home automation products. like virtual assistants (amazon echo), smart lighting, smart climate control, cable and satellite box, TVs, media streamer, audio system, home theater system, sound bar etc. It also works with a slew of other devices, including Roku, Bose, and Nest devices. After the setup, it tracks your gestures with a camera and lets you navigate the menus displayed on its screen (which is about 1.5 inches by 2.5 inches). Definitely, it works relatively well, causing only occasional moments of frustration. And when it works, which is the vast majority of the time — controlling your lights and TV with gestures actually feels pretty damn cool.
The other big addition the Gen 2 Singlecue introduces is Alexa integration. That means people can turn on their TVs with voice commands to their Echo device like, “Alexa, tell Singlecue to turn on the TV.”
When a user makes a gesture toward singlecue, sensors scan the field of view for motion, and advanced proprietary computer vision algorithms analyze and translate the gesture into actions. singlecue emits commands through Wi-Fi and IR to control devices in the home. singlecue Gen 2 uses three gestures, which involve natural, simple movements of the finger, to activate different functions:
- Swipe – a single finger sweeping motion controls navigation between on-screen functions
