The hand control is well designed and implemented. It feels better than hand controls for the Hololens, for example. We got some new headsets!

So originally when North was founded, it was actually called Thalmic Labs, and the product was a gesture control armband. You could make motions with your hand and it would detect your muscle movements and you could control computers, music, do presentation control.

What they were saying was, "we're now excited to introduce the natural user interface," and it's called like "intuitive gesture control." Just seeing a technologist refer to hands as this natural gesture interface is hilarious.
