Doublepoint Technologiespioneering startup known for wrist gesture sensing technology returns to CES 2025 with the premiere WowMouse app for Apple Watch with which you can control your Mac devices using gestures.
Doublepoint also partners strategically with Bosch Sensortec.
The app offers key updates to the gesture recognition algorithm. Basically, it allows you to control connected devices or the smartwatch itself using gestures recognized by the watch’s sensors.
It’s somewhat of a magical technology that underscores Doublepoint’s mission to shape the way forward for wearables and consumer electronics.
WowMouse for Apple Watch: extending gesture control to recent platforms
This is the first time Apple Watch users can experience this Doublepoint the WowMouse application, which is able to turn their smartwatches into intuitive gesture controllers.
Initially, the app will support connectivity between Apple Watches and Mac devices. Doublepoint plans to expand connectivity to include control over any Bluetooth-enabled device in the near future.
To support innovation, the WowMouse companion ecosystem will likely be open source, allowing developers to explore recent capabilities and construct on the foundational elements created by Doublepoint. Previously only available on Android smartwatches like Samsung and Google Pixel, WowMouse has been downloaded nearly 100,000 times since its debut at CES 2024.
You can download WowMouse for Apple Watch at Doublepoint in the Apple App Store. You can download the original WowMouse for Android at: Doublepoint in the Google Play Store. The company is showcasing the technology in its booth #16055 at CES Jan. 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“The release of WowMouse on Apple Watch marks an important milestone in meeting the overwhelming demand for more efficient wrist gesture control,” he said Ohto PentikäinenCEO of Doublepoint, in a press release. “Apple Watches account for nearly half of global smartwatch shipments, and we are excited to bring our intuitive, revolutionary technology to this platform. This launch will enable more users to connect and control a wide range of devices in a seamless and easy way.”
Bosch collaboration: creating the way forward for gesture-enabled wearables

Through Doublepoint’s collaboration with Bosch Sensortec, corporations integrate Doublepoint’s gesture recognition algorithms with Bosch’s intelligent inertial measurement units, enabling precise, low-latency gesture control with minimal power consumption. This collaboration accelerates the creation of intuitive, gesture-enabled devices and sets a brand new standard for consumer experiences with wearable devices.
“Consumer demand for gesture-enabled devices is growing significantly, and we are excited to work with the fantastic team at Doublepoint to bring to life the possibilities that gesture control offers to CES attendees,” Marcellino Gemelli, director of world business development at Bosch Sensortec, said in a press release. “Doublepoint’s exciting demonstrations show how Bosch’s IMU, combined with the ability to implement intelligent algorithms directly in the sensor, provide an extremely intuitive and seamless user experience. We believe this type of innovation will be key to making human-computer interaction more natural, effortless and responsive.”
“We are extremely grateful to the Bosch team for their cooperation and shared vision,” said Pentikäinen. “Our joint presentation at CES shows how advances in gesture technology are meeting growing consumer demand for intuitive and seamless human-computer interaction – from smart homes to smart workplaces. By delivering tailored and effective sensor and component solutions, we unlock recent opportunities and drive next-generation innovation.
Improved gesture recognition: recent algorithm capabilities

Doublepoint also unveiled the latest version of its core software, which incorporates significant improvements to its touch detection algorithm. The algorithm currently achieves 97% accuracy in a stationary environment, 95% while walking and 94% while running – requiring no calibration on the a part of the user. This increased performance paves the way for progressive applications in smart watches, wearable devices, augmented reality headsets, accessibility tools, and a spread of on a regular basis applications.
“With this latest update, we are taking wearable technology and human-computer interaction to the next level in real-world situations,” Pentikäinen said. “By improving our gesture technology, we enable developers and manufacturers to create solutions that redefine how people interact with their devices, making it faster, easier and more intuitive.”
At CES, Doublepoint will show that you can use WowMouse on Apple Watch: play games and compete to win an Apple Watch. It may also summon artificial intelligence with a single tap – no voice is required for tasks corresponding to translation or scene identification. It also has augmented reality control, thanks to which you can turn your smartwatch into an AR/VR/XR controller using easy, intuitive gestures. You may also showcase smart home lighting controls and one-touch brightness and color adjustments.
To bring the capabilities of its recent algorithm to developers and market leaders innovating in wearable devices, Doublepoint has opened orders for its evaluation kit, which incorporates a wearable reference design, gesture recognition algorithms, and tools to integrate gesture detection into recent and existing products.
