Kinesis App Enables Mac Control Using Meta Neural Band
Key points
- Kinesis enables Mac control via the Meta Neural Band.
- Functions include desktop swiping, Mission Control, and media volume.
- Requires macOS 14+ and a Meta Neural Band.
- Built natively in Swift, based on prior neural band research.
Kinesis Application Release
The Kinesis application has been released, allowing users to control their Mac computers using the Meta Neural Band. This tool provides a new way to interact with macOS through gestures detected by the neural band.
Functionality and Features
Kinesis enables various macOS controls, including swiping between desktops, opening Mission Control, and managing music playback. Users can also adjust volume or brightness through pinch and turn gestures. The application supports custom mapping of controls and operates from the menu bar.
Technical Requirements and Setup
To use Kinesis, users need macOS 14 or newer and a Meta Neural Band. The application is compatible with both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs. Setup involves downloading the DMG, dragging the app to Applications, pairing the band, and granting Bluetooth and accessibility permissions.
Development Background
Kinesis is built natively in Swift and originated from prior experimental work with Astra in a neural-band-poc repository. The developer aimed to create a practical application from this research, making the underlying code available for others to explore.
