Transform your daily drive with futuristic, touchless hand-gesture controls. Bring the premium, high-end gesture control of luxury vehicles to any car today.
Imagine skipping tracks, pausing your music, or adjusting the volume without ever taking your eyes off the road or fumbling for tiny touch screens. DriveSwipe turns your Android device into a smart, gesture-controlled dashboard co-pilot. Powered by advanced real-time hand tracking, DriveSwipe listens to your gestures and maps them instantly to your music player.
Whether your car is a vintage classic or a daily commuter, DriveSwipe brings the next generation of smart cabin convenience to your fingertips.
Keep your navigation or map open while you drive. DriveSwipe floats a tiny, elegant status indicator over any active app. The moment you trigger a gesture, the dot smoothly morphs into an expanded capsule display, giving you clean, visual confirmation of the media action before sliding back down. Best of all? You can drag and position it anywhere on your screen.
The home screen of the app features a sleek, automotive-inspired Start/Stop engine button. It pulses with a breathing radial glow and a clean power symbol, letting you know the status of your co-pilot at a single glance.
Set and forget. DriveSwipe integrates with your car’s Bluetooth and automation triggers like Samsung Routines. The app starts and stops listening in the background silently, without screen flickers or annoying interruptions.
Driving at night? DriveSwipe automatically switches sensors. During the day, it uses your front camera for high-accuracy gesture tracking. At night, it switches to a proximity-based waving mode, saving battery and preventing distracting light from the screen.
You are in the driver's seat. Use pre-configured standard presets, or remap actions (Next, Previous, Play/Pause, Volume Up/Down) to whichever hand gestures feel most natural to you.
DriveSwipe responds to intuitive, easy-to-learn gestures:
