Gesture Remote Brings Touch to TV Screen
Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, remote control, Today's Chili, TV
Still in concept, the Gesture Remote
looks quite capable of solving the age-old remote problem.
The universal remote is handy for
turning on the TV easily. There is no need for a TV remote just to
turn it on, the cable remote to change channels, or a stereo remote
to adjust volume. Throw the DVR, DVD player, and other devices in the
mix, though, and there are too many buttons and functions. The
universal remote can’t handle the load.
Enter the Gesture Remote from IDENT
Technology. This would allow you to surf TV channels and digital media using
gesture. Using touch-technology, there are no buttons or keypads to
deal with. Imagine the Gesture Remote as the Apple Magic Trackpad for the palm.
Just like a mouse, you can easily drag
and drop or select content on the screen. Select the highlighted item
by tapping the thumb. Scroll, flick, rotate, or zoom in and out for
volume control and channel selection. It’s that easy.
The Gesture Remote would have to be
able to talk to any kind of box, such as satellite, cable, and FiOS,
as well as other devices. Here is to hoping this becomes reality.
