A new device named as Hayo is allowing you to create Virtual Remote Controls for your Home.
i-e You can Control all of your smart home devices just by moving your hands or touching the objects around you.
Hayo connects to your favorite smart home platforms and products (like IFTTT, Wink, Sonos, Nest) and gives you the ability to control them with simple hand motions. The system starts by 3D-scanning your room and lets you create virtual remote controls on top of objects (like furniture) or right in mid air
You can make your coffee table a play button for Sonos. Or you can place an on/off button for your HUE lights right above your bed
