I tried Apple Vision Pro-like control without the $3,500 price tag at CES 2025

The feature can already be implemented on multiple devices.

Neural Lab, a California-based company, presented its software, which allows users to control their devices through hand gesturing, during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 in Las Vegas.

Those interested are also invited to test out how the AirTouch works. The idea behind it is similar to how Apple Vision Pro is controlled, except you don’t need a $3,500 device for that.

AirTouch doesn’t require any equipment, all I had to do during the testing was to stand in front of a camera.

The feature works with any device that runs on iOS, Android, Windows, and soon Linux and has a camera that can track a user’s hand movements.

While I played with the software, seeing how I could control the screen with just a few hand gestures, Neural Lab’s representative shared other AirTouch use cases.

The hand-gesturing feature could be implemented at home when cooking, at work, for seamless presentation, or even during surgery, when utmost hygiene is required.

The co-founder of Neural Lab, Sherry Chang, revealed that the company’s main focus now is replacing remote controllers, which she finds outdated and painful to use since many of us now have to use more than one when watching TV.

The company is already working on making this happen, but for now, Neural Lab is striving to get more people familiar with hand gesturing in everyday use.

Users can access the feature through a $30-a-month subscription, which provides them with six customizable gestures and gloved hand support. AirTouch is priced at $300 a month for business and commercial use.
