Australian scientists have developed a remote that sits by your boob tube and tracks hand gestures to operate your television , DVD player and up to 6 other gadget ( basically , as many as you could sway a fist at … heh ) .
A late prototype is said to work out in all lighting situations ( a immense accomplishment as anyone who has used an EyeToy would bang ) , and software claims to severalise the intentional gesture from the material ones :
A clinched clenched fist means “ commence ” , an outstretched script with shut fingers imply “ power on ” , a quarter round - up sign think of “ up ” and a sideways triumph foretoken intend “ groove ” .
We ’re not entirely certain what happen when you give a friend the thumb up , but at least the television channel should n’t change every time you piece your nozzle . see for the twist being marketed in about three yr , and probably being less effective than the remote we have now .
