TV Remote for Wii addicts
July 15, 2007 by Vincent
In Australia scientists have come up with a device very similar to the Nintendo Wii remote to operate your television. The device can reportedly control up to 8 different devices through it's built in camera.; The computer also is said to recognize deliberate gestures rather than simple movement thorough the house.; So far the device is able to turn the television on and off, raise and lower the volume, change channels, and also give a play and stop command to devices such as dvd players.
The gestures for the remote are rather simple with a fist activating the box's recognition system, a pointed hand to power on a device, with a thumbs up for up volume, or up channel if preceded by a sideways peace sign.
The device is still in development stages and scientists are working on features such as inputting specific channels and other needed features, so while the device isn't quite awe-inspiring just yet I much admit I'm intrigued by the idea.
