# Gesture Control for PowerPoint

AirTouch converts hand gestures into the clicks and key presses PowerPoint already understands. Present without a clicker, from anywhere in the room, on the camera you already own.

Patented · No plugin or add-in · Windows, Linux, and Android

AirTouch works at the operating system level. Its 15 gestures map to standard input events: a swipe sends the arrow keys Slide Show mode listens for, and a pinch clicks links, videos, and embedded content. The same setup drives Google Slides, Keynote in the browser, and any full-screen deck.

## Why gestures

### Retire the Clicker, Keep the Room's Attention

The clicker does one thing: next slide. Presenters jump back to charts, play videos, and click through live demos, and each of those normally drags you back to the laptop. With gestures you stay facing the audience and your raised hand does the driving. Nothing to pass between speakers, and no dead batteries five minutes before the keynote.

## Setup

### Working in Five Minutes

Install AirTouch on the presentation PC, aim the camera the room already has, and map a swipe to Right Arrow. Mappings save per profile, so the room is ready before every meeting and rehearsal takes about a minute.

## Big rooms

### Built for a Room Full of Hands

Patented intent detection is designed to lock onto the presenter and filter out the audience, so a stretch in the second row does not skip your slide. AutoZoom keeps tracking on the first raised hand until that person is done. In most setups a standard camera handles a full conference room; unusual lighting or very long throws may call for a specialized camera.

## Common questions

### Presenting With Gestures, Answered

**Can you control PowerPoint with hand gestures?**  
AirTouch converts gestures into the mouse clicks and keyboard presses PowerPoint already understands. Map a swipe to the arrow keys and Slide Show mode responds as if you pressed the remote, with no plugin or add-in.

**Does it work with Google Slides and Keynote?**  
Because the output is standard input, the same setup drives Google Slides, Keynote in the browser, Canva, or a full-screen PDF. If it responds to a keyboard and mouse, it responds to gestures.

**What stops the audience from changing my slides?**  
Patented intent detection is designed to lock onto the presenter and filter out other movement in the room, and AutoZoom keeps tracking on the first raised hand until that person is done.

**What hardware do I need to present with gestures?**  
A laptop or room PC running the deck, plus any standard RGB camera such as your webcam or video bar. In most setups there is nothing new to buy.
