The tech market is now filled with various smart devices that can be controlled with voice. There is no denying that this has made our lives a bit magical. But an YouTuber named Sam March took it a set further and made a wand that can literally turn on lights and control home appliances just by using waving gestures.
So Sam placed an accelerometer in the wand which allows it to detect waving motions. This signals the smart plugs to switch a device on or off via Bluetooth. Sam placed the battery and circuit at the bottom part of the wand.
The first video showed the process of making the wand. But you would have to also make the adaptors to make it work. Sam has said that we would soon uploada video explaining how he made those. If you want to make a wand like this for yourself, you can use Sam’s resources from his Github page.
So that's it. It may not be as efficient as using your voice to control your smart appliances but it can't be denied how amazing and magical it is. If you ever wanted to say 'Lumos' and turn on your light, this is the perfect thing for you and it's real.
