Flutter: The YC Startup That Wants To Put The World?s Webcams To Good Use

Say you're sitting at your laptop, listening to music while responding to emails, writing code, or reading blogs. Then your phone rings, and the typical scramble ensues: You minimize your browser, maximize your music app, and search frantically for the pause button or volume control -- all, hopefully, before you miss the call. Sound familiar? That's a problem that Flutter, a startup in Y Combinator's latest batch of companies, has solved. Flutter is an app for Mac that lets you control the play and stop functions on Spotify or iTunes by simply waving at your computer. You can watch it in action in the video embedded above. That in itself is pretty nifty, but the really interesting thing is the company's long-term vision, which goes well beyond the ability to start and stop a Rihanna song with a wave of your hand. Ultimately, Flutter co-founders Navneet Delal and Mehul Nariyawala tell me, Flutter wants to power the eyes of our devices -- in the same way that Siri functions as the iPhone's ears.
