The award-winning Loop pointer from Hillcrest Labs is an in-air mouse designed for households that enjoy using online content, from their PC or Mac, while connected to the Television. The Loop pointer’s distinctive design is round and ergonomic, including just four buttons and a scroll wheel for comfort and simplicity. With just simple wrist movements you’re able to control the computer’s cursor from your favorite spot on the couch across the room.
Clutter drives me bonkers, and one of the great benefits I found when using the Loop is that I am able to put away all those unsightly wires, keyboards and mice.
With its dimensions close to 5″ x 5″ and weight 5 ounces, it’s able to pack a powerful punch into it’s tiny frame. 
The Loop’s ideal for use with the new Kylo browser for Televisions. By connecting your computer to your Television, you can enjoy your choice of TV shows, movies and more. Also, you can take advantage of top sites like Hulu, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube, Netflix, and Fancast. You’re able to watch videos downloaded directly to your computer and view your photos. You can even play your own music using applications like iTunes and Media Center.
Another benefit I found of great use is the easy installation. All you need to do is connect your TV to your PC, Mac or PS3 and insert the USB transceiver into your PC, Mac or PS3 and viola, you’re ready to use the Loop! No extra software or drivers required. The fast wireless connection works across large rooms and through closed cabinet doors. In fact, it has a range up to 33′. The Loop pointer incorporates Freespace motion sensing technology from Hillcrest Labs. This is a patented technology that handles complex tasks to compensate for natural hand tremor and varying orientation while responding to the motion of the Loop pointer: resulting in a natural experience that is easy to use.
The Loop is also an excellent tool for presenters and educators who use PCs and Macs connected to projectors. With the Loop pointer you can control presentations, navigate web pages and more from anywhere in the room. The Loop works with computers running Windows, Mac OS or Linux.

Very unique concept for the loop, like they said in video it’s the thing that will be in the future. I Like this idea!
Hi Valancia =)
I agree. It is a cool unique concept. When you say, “it’s the thing that will be in the future” why does my mind instantly go to flying cars between big skyscrapers? =)
