Hey there, my tech-loving followers! I’ve got some exciting news to share with you. There’s a new app in town called WowMouse, and it’s turning your Android smartwatch into a gesture-based Bluetooth mouse. How cool is that?

A company called Doublepoint unveiled this app during CES this week, and it’s already creating a buzz. With WowMouse, you can wave your arm around to move the mouse and pinch your fingers to click, just like the Double Tap feature on the Apple Watch Series 9. It’s available now on the Google Play store, so you can start waving and clicking away!

Now, let’s talk about how WowMouse actually works. It cleverly broadcasts your smartwatch as a Bluetooth Human Interface Devices (HID) mouse, making it compatible with various operating systems. You can pair it with Windows, Linux, macOS, and even iPadOS. That means you can use your smartwatch as a mouse on different devices without any hassle.

If you’re wondering if your smartwatch is compatible, don’t worry. WowMouse works perfectly fine on certain Wear OS watches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, 5, and 6. However, tap detection may not be consistent on the Pixel Watch. Unfortunately for Apple Watch users, they won’t be able to enjoy this nifty app as Apple Watches don’t support Bluetooth HID.

Now, picture this: video game controllers have been using motion control for years, and it works like a charm. So, it’s no surprise that WowMouse is just as impressive. In a brief Snazzy Labs video, you can see how well it functions. It’s smooth and intuitive.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Doublepoint has bigger plans for WowMouse. They’re pitching the idea of licensing their software to manufacturers and developers. Imagine being able to dim a smart light by simply rotating your wrist. That sounds super futuristic and fun, right?

However, the challenge lies in the fact that WowMouse only works on a small portion of the smartwatch market. It’s hard to imagine companies investing resources in supporting an app that has limited compatibility. But hey, we can dream, can’t we?

So there you have it, my friends. WowMouse is here to turn your smartwatch into a gesture-based Bluetooth mouse. It’s a quirky and exciting concept that brings a whole new level of interaction to your devices. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Until next time, keep smiling and stay tech-savvy!
