#wave control

[techcrunch]

Google and ASUS have teamed up to build a new version of the OnHub router. The new OnHub has a nifty new feature called “Wave Control,” which lets you speed up your Wi-Fi for a specific device by waving your hand over the top of it. Sounds like voodoo magic to us, but Google seems to think it works, so we’ll go with that.

Google’s new ASUS OnHub router can be sped up with the wave of a hand

It was just two months ago that Google debuted the first OnHub Wi-Fi router made in partnership with TP-LINK, and now the Mountain View company is introducing yet another one. Boasting faster Wi-Fi speeds, an easy set-up process and simple management with the Google On application, this new ASUS-made router aims to bring some notable improvements to the table over the first device.

Samsung Galaxy S4's Unique Hardware Feature No One Is Talking About

On the list of features, it's listed as the "IR Gesture Sensor." So far it looks like Samsung is only using it for their "Air Gesture" feature.. which is like my app Wave Control except with the help of this new sensor can detect more gestures than my proximity sensor based solution. 

It looks like it has the ability to sense 4 directions (up, down, left, right) instead of just the near/far of a proximity sensor. This opens up more gestures options than the simple waves I use currently.

From the hands-on videos of Air Gesture, it doesn't look all that great now but there's a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this phone and taking advantage of this new sensor's abilities.

Tasker support is in Wave Control as of V2.30!

With it, you can choose a profile to activate. Each profile is capable of changing all settings  and gesture assignments. So everything can be set at once. 

Potential uses: 

1. On headphones plugged in: Load Wave Control, delay 2 s, Load Music PlayerSwitch to a profile that sets your favorite music app and sets it to screen off only mode and gestures assignments: 

  Hover: Play/Pause 1 Wave: Next Track 2 Wave: Screen Toggle 3 Wave: Enable/Disable

2. On car dock attached: Load Wave Control, delay 2 s, Load Podcast App, Switch to profile that sets Podcast player as target app, and gesture assignments: 

  Hover: Play/Pause 1 Wave: Fast Forward 2 Wave: None 3 Wave: None

Many many possibilities...

Tasker Support Update

So development on the Tasker plugin is coming along nicely.

First to get it will be Wave Control. It will allow you to activate one of your Wave Control Profiles. Great for location based profile setting. In the car, at the gym, at the office, etc. 

After that I'll make versions for Around Sound and Sound Asleep. 

Stay tuned.

Wave Control: Control con gestos

Nuestro dispositivos cuentan con unos cuantos sensores que aplicaciones como esta le sacan partido, esta aplicación saca jugo al sensor frontal de nuestro Android.

El sensor que me refiero es el que tenemos practicamente en todos los dispositivos, que esta en la parte frontal encima de la pantalla. Este sensor se utiliza mucho para apagar la pantalla del telefono cuando nos lo acercamos a la oreja como seguro habreis notado.

Pues esta aplicacion se encarga de usar ese sensor para diferentes practicas habituales como pasar de cancion, silenciar el dispositivo o realizar diferentes tareas.

En este video se explica y se entiende bien:

Una aplicación para exprimir un poco mas nuestro Android y gratis ;)
