If you want to control your Raspberry Pi Zero using gestures then you need the Flick Zero - a 3D tracking and gesture pHAT for the Raspberry Pi Zero.
You can use swipes, flicks, taps, double taps, airwheels and touch to control your hardware, so the possibilities are almost endless. The Flick uses technology that enables it to detect gestures from up to 150mm away in 3D space. Draw a circle, swipe your hand - Flick will track it. Integrate Flick into your Raspberry Pi project to give you multiple ways of controlling it. Using the near field gesture technology, you're able to hide your project behind non-conductive material (wood/acrylic) and still use Flick (please note however that mounting it in this way may reduce the sensor range).
The Flick is plug and play, so you can be up and running within minutes. Use the software libraries (complete with one line installer) to fully explore what you can do with Flick. Control your computer, TV, music system and more all with a Flick of the wrist.
