I always felt that single arm control of Apple watch was the future because the way it ties up both hands felt anachronistic(the hand your watch is on is doing nothing and is constrained while your other hand interacts with the watch, making it less liberating than a phone) but couldn't imagine how this would be solved. Bravo Apple on this brilliant solution.
- tW4r 5y agoThere’s a startup [1] that I don’t think has shipped yet, but they have a great idea about using nerve conductance sensors to use hand gestures to control the watch. Looks pretty exciting [1] https://www.mudra-band.com/ https://www.mudra-band.com/
- nighthawk454 5y agoOof, at a glance some of the gestures and ideas look pretty similar to what Apple just launched. I wouldn't be surprised if this either fizzles out, or gets nerfed by Apple for competing with built-in OS features. It's possible the extra hardware in the watch band makes it work much better, which would be cool! But it's hard to beat built-in. And I presume relying on those comm ports in the watch band connector and watchOS functionality is... risky.
