This technology can be used in controlling drones without losing line of sight," claimed Neravati.
He further added, "Hug Innovations has built 16 unique gestures and can control 20+ applications. Hug is building healthcare and military defense applications using this technology. In future, Hug would like to create a developer platform and create a community of developers to extend the applications and features of this technology."
