HandTrack- Reimagining a Mouse

HandTrack is an innovative way to control your computer via your Android phone/ tablet or via your Wear OS watch by tracking your hand movements or by tracking your finger on the screen. This technology can be used for a variety of different situations. It can be useful for presentations, supporting people with disabilities and for helping people to use a computer in three-dimensional space. Overall, HandTrack further increases computer accessibility.

HandTrack uses the device’s built-in accelerometer sensors (Air Mouse) or a virtual joystick to move the mouse pointer on the screen and to use the mouse buttons. The information is passed from the phone or watch application to the computer program via WI-FI or Bluetooth.
