What is it? It’s a gesture-controlled armband for Macs and iOS devices, using muscle sensors to enable the wearer to control devices with a flick of the wrist or the clench of a fist. When’s it due? You can pre-order one now. Why are we excited? It can be used with apps such as Keynote, so presentati­ons can be controlled on your Mac by waving left/right to move between slides and making a fist to annotate. On an iPhone you can control music mid-jog by performing the gestures in the air.
