The Singlcue device, seen here just below the TV, was designed to be visually ubobstrusive and blend into any living room. The Singlecue wirelessly connects with a wide range of TVs, cable boxes, media streamers (like Roku, Apple TV, Xbox One), and even smart lighting like Phillips Hue. Once connected, short movements of your pointer finger can control each system. However, Singlecue's ability to recognize a miniscule finger 16.5 feet away was only half the battle. A full list of compatible products can be found here; Singlecue will continue to add compatibility with more devices in the future. For example, it will work with the Nest Learning Thermostat in the next few months.

While devices like Microsoft's Kinect need to detect your movement in three dimensions—thereby needing some advanced hardware—Singlecue uses relatively simple cameras. The marvel is its image recognition: it can pick out a single finger against every color, texture, and object in its field of view. To avoid confusion, the Singlecue stays fixed on the first finger it sees and resets once that finger is put down. The current model has a 35° field of vision though future models will have 70°.
