Flic Controls Apps with the Press of a Button

Nov-19-14 Designed to for people who appreciate a little 'real-world' interaction, the Flic can be programmed to carry out a specific function at the press of a button.

The rubber, quarter-sized Flic button communicates wirelessly with a smartphone to carry out certain favorite actions, such as launching GPS navigation, controlling the camera's shutter and allowing hands-free texting. The button can also be programmed to access the controls of a smart home, with different 'clicks' (long hold, double-click, single click) activating certain functions.

The team is currently investigating ways to expand the Flic's functionality, and is inviting developers to integrate the device into their apps.
