The 10 Coolest Things We've Seen So Far at CES 2025
If you download Doublepoint's new WowMouse app, you can use finger gestures to control the cursor on your MacBook. Sit on the bed and hit Next Episode on your Mac screen without even touching the laptop--just use the Apple Watch on your wrist and hand gestures like a Jedi. Last year, the company started with a Wear OS app for the Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy smartwatches, but now it's the Apple Watch's turn. There are some caveats--the Apple Watch can't control the screen of an iPhone whereas this is possible with a Wear OS watch and an Android phone, but it's supposedly on the roadmap. It's powered by the Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) sensor on most smartwatches and you can make a few gestures, like a double tap. Right now the main utility is to control the Mac screen in front of you, but the goal is to let it work with a variety of Bluetooth-enabled devices.
