Douplepoint Technologies Revolutionizes Gesture Technology at CES 2024
Command your intelligent devices with the illusion of possessing superpowers.
Doublepoint has created a groundbreaking product called the Wow Mouse, which takes gesture technology to the next level.
When Apple presented the Double Tap feature on the Apple Watch last year, it quickly became a crowd favorite. However, it soon became apparent that Double Tap lacked the customizability that would make it truly game-changing.
Maximizing the potential of gesture technology is what Doublepoint Technologies hopes to demonstrate at CES 2024. The Helsinki-based startup has developed impressive use cases of gesture technology, taking the concept to a whole new level. Their latest offering, the “Wow Mouse” app for Android watches, not only allows users to control their devices with intuitive gestures but also brings instant Bluetooth connectivity to a range of devices, including phones, tablets, and computers.
Hands-on with Doublepoint
The team at Doublepoint was kind enough to run us through a demonstration at CES Unveiled. Of the two demos, the most impressive was the light control. While wearing the watch, you can dim the brightness of the lamps by rotating your wrist. There is almost no lag in the feedback between the light control and the users’ movements. You can turn on the lamp by pointing at it and turn it off with a flick of the wrist. The other demo involved using the gesture movement combined with the XReal headset.
All you need is a simple flick of the wrist.
Additionally, one of the cooler features of the Douplepoint set was a watch that tracks the pinch movements of the user. The display is a simple loading bar that gradually loads up depending on how much force you’re applying to your fingers.

The Key to Doublepoint’s Success
Doublepoint’s success lies in their newly updated gesture detection algorithm, now fully compatible with WearOS smartwatches. Ohto Pentikäinen, the CEO of Doublepoint, said their algorithm is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing products, allowing developers and manufacturers the opportunity to enhance user experiences without starting from scratch.
Doublepoint introduced their latest iteration of core software at CES Unveiled, which includes Human Interface Device (HID) support. This breakthrough allows for stationary pinch and hold gestures, revolutionizing wrist-based device control and offering a more immersive and intuitive user experience.
