Show HN: Command Stick – New Human to Computer Interface

1 pointsby wilfredkabout 2 years ago
Command Stick is a new Human to Computer Interaction system designed to make controlling devices with gestures as natural as signing your name or riding a bike. Our patented system is designed for effortless navigation and seamless integration across multiple platforms, such as smartwatches, mobile devices, desktops, automotive systems, and IoT devices.<p>How it Works:<p>- Users summon Command Stick to their mouse or finger location.<p>- They swipe around the circle to find the desired menu item.<p>- The space is reused, allowing hundreds of commands to fit within a circular footprint.<p>- Once an item is highlighted, lifting the finger executes the command.<p>As a user becomes experienced, repeating a path to a menu item enters their procedural &#x2F; muscle memory to form a learned gesture. Learned gestures can be performed unsighted, providing a fast, attention-free way to control smart-watches, phones, cars, headphones etc. Core gestures are universal so learned gestures can be used immediately on any device. For example the scrub audio command can be accessed by performing a half circle clockwise gesture from the lower section of Command Stick.<p>Demo Video → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UcpqDrXD5po">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=UcpqDrXD5po</a><p>Mechanics Demo Video → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=iyCBakmysZA&amp;feature=youtu.be">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=iyCBakmysZA&amp;feature=youtu.be</a><p>Website Demo → <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.commandstick.com&#x2F;developmentstick" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.commandstick.com&#x2F;developmentstick</a><p>Command Stick Benefits include:<p>Huge utility in less space – hundreds of commands performed inside a space no bigger than a watch face.<p>Added functionality – introduces utility currently unavailable on mobile and wearable devices e.g. &#x27;scrub audio&#x27;.<p>Muscle memory – by repeating a path to a menu item users form learned gestures which can then be performed instinctively on any device.<p>Eyes-free usability – gestures can be performed without looking at the screen<p>People love using it – the fluent gestures feel natural and rewarding, making productivity fun and effortless.<p>Dial-adjustment – a user can select a parameter and adjust it with a single motion, performed without lifting a finger.<p>Summonable – Command Stick can be quickly summoned to any location on screen.<p>Intuitive &amp; self explanatory –No prior knowledge is needed. A user can see the option they want to select.<p>Error resistant – Command Stick innately rejects accidental touch as common touch is not recognised as a gesture.<p>Custom commands - CS supports customisation, allowing users to streamline workflows in whichever programs they use.<p>I will soon be releasing the developer API for our Chrome extension and are eager to receive feedback and suggestions on its functionality. I am particularly interested in learning what features the developer community would like to see implemented.<p>I am developing the Android mobile and WearOS3 app, betas dropping soon.<p>For updates on Command Stick&#x27;s development, follow us on Twitter or Instagram. @CommandStick.<p>Happy to connect with fellow HNers on:<p>Twitter <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twitter.com&#x2F;InventorBlack" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.twitter.com&#x2F;InventorBlack</a><p>LinkedIn <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;wilfredkasekende&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;wilfredkasekende&#x2F;</a>
