Piccolo

Control your home with gestures

Piccolo is building the world’s first vision assistant. It uses a 3D camera and computer vision to let you control devices with gestures. It lets you point at lamps to turn them on and you can control your TV with simple hand movements.

Hi PH — Marlon & Neil from Piccolo here. Piccolo is a smart camera that lets you control your TV, lamps, fans, speakers, and other devices with simple gestures. For example, you can point at your lamps with your hand to turn them on or off. To set up Piccolo, you can place it anywhere (near the TV is usually best), and then on the app you can indicate where your devices are with boxes. After that, you can connect those same devices (Chromecast, Hue lights, smart plugs, etc.) with Piccolo, and you’re good to go. If you join the waitlist on our website, you have a chance at getting one of 20 pre-release Piccolos next month. We’d love to hear some feedback and look forwarding to answering any questions!

Nice to reconnect with you on PH, @marlonmisra. 😊 Think you could hook us up with a piccolo for the AngelList/Product Hunt office? We'd love to do a livestream demo sometime.

But in all seriousness, how do address the concern about privacy?

@daviswbaer since Piccolo is not a security camera, we don't store any images/videos.

@daviswbaer @marlonmisra Is processing done locally or in the cloud?

@daviswbaer @kay0stheory both. some preprocessing on device, and the more complex models run in the cloud. the models that do pose estimation are too complex to run locally (unless you use a really expensive computer) for now.
