Flutter was an early-stage gesture-recognition startup founded in 2010 by Mehul Nariyawala and Navneet Dalal and based in California. Its consumer app used computer-vision hand-gesture recognition over a built-in webcam to control media players such as iTunes, Spotify, VLC, and QuickTime; it launched in 2012, reached number one free app in dozens of countries on the Mac App Store, and was named by Apple among the best free apps of 2012. The company raised early funding from Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and NEA before Google acquired it on October 2, 2013, after which the product was discontinued. It has no active developer program, public API, or maintained developer portal today. This profile is retained as a historical portfolio-lead record; there is no live provider surface to enrich.
