AccuGesture is HERE!

AccuRadio debuts revolutionary new user interface driven by human gestures

Today, AccuRadio gives the world it’s first opportunity to move beyond swiping on a screen or using a mouse to control the music streaming experience. Our revolutionary new AccuGesture system will enable listeners to take advantage of all the personalization features on the AccuRadio platform simply through motions, Founder/CEO Kurt Hanson has announced.

“It’s time to stop being tied to clunky user interfaces and move into a world where movement provides control,” Hanson noted. “Through the use of webcams and phone cameras we can allow the listeners to control their listening with a much more intuitive set of motions.

AccuRadio’s VP of Programming, Paul Maloney noted this is a game changer for the industry: “Every streaming provider forces listeners to use a mouse or tap on a screen. We are excited to free people from those shackles.”

While the full list of motion controls will be available on the AccuRadio website soon, some of the most notable include:

• Launch a channel by pointing at the channel tile and giving a thumbs-up motion
• Turn down the volume by sticking your fingers into your ears for 10-15 seconds. Simply remove your fingers when the volume seems right
• Rate songs simply by pointing at the screen and drawing a star in the air anywhere between one and five times
• Ban a song from your mix by staring angrily at the screen and dragging your thumb horizontally across your throat. Drag your thumb back the other way to ban the artist
• Blend any two channels together into a unique mix by spinning around one 360 degee rotation
• Skip as many songs as you like by skipping around the room. How many skips you take determines how many songs you advance past.

Noted AccuRadio's EVP of Promotion Todd Manley, “There are also a few secret-menu motions we will not publicize as heavily. For example, if you gather three other people and hold up cigarette lighters the song your listening will change to a live version.”

CEO Hanson explains how the company spent a full year developing AccuGesture: “The AccuRadio staff deserves so much credit. They worked extra hard trying out different motions over the last 12 months, even sustaining some minor injuries along the way. In retrospect we never should have used scissors to represent cutting off a song.”
