This gesture-controlled Apple Watch band means you can ditch the TV remote forever

Mudra Band for Apple Watch.

One of the big selling points of the Apple Watch Series 9 was Double Tap, which enabled you to use a pinch gesture to dismiss notifications and confirm on-screen options. And now a new third-party Apple Watch band takes that much further. The Mudra Band turns your Apple Watch into a gesture controller that you can use for other Apple devices such as your iPhone or Apple TV, enabling you to control things with a wave of the arm or a flick of the wrist. 

The creators call the system Air-Touch, and in its demos it shows people navigating their way around Apple TV, scrolling on their MacBook Pros and even playing Fruit Ninja on their iPad. The system was previously announced a few years ago on Indiegogo, the crowdfunding website, and it's now finally shipping.
