Doublepoint is a gesture recognition technology company from Finland that showcases technology for detecting gestures through smartwatches. Announcing Apple Watch support for the first time at CES 2025, gesture recognition is now possible on both platforms. The principle is that the smartwatch's IMU sensor detects the subtle vibration that occurs when a finger and thumb touch, recognizing gestures. This technology can be utilized for interaction with various devices such as smart home control, XR headset control, and smart glass integration. Doublepoint is open-sourcing the Mac companion app to support integration between Apple Watch and Android devices, and is opening the development platform free to everyone to encourage community participation. This technology enables natural and convenient interaction through wearable devices and is expected to contribute to future technological advancement.

1. Innovation in Gesture Recognition Technology

Doublepoint is a gesture recognition company located in Helsinki, Finland that provides technology for recognizing gestures through smartwatches. Announcing Apple Watch support for the first time at CES 2025, gesture recognition has become possible on various platforms. This technology can be used to control various devices such as smart homes, XR headsets, smartphones, and tablets, with integration with smart glasses also planned for the future. 
 

2. Magic-Like Touch Detection Technology

A subtle vibration occurs when a finger and thumb touch. The watch's IMU sensor detects this subtle vibration and measures movement.
