Goodbye to TV remote control
A new device that allows viewers to operate the on/off switch or change channels by simple hand gestures may make the remote control lost down the back of the sofa, a thing of the past, reports The Guardian from Sydney.
Its inventors, two engineers from Wollongong University in Australia, say the new gadget incorporates a camera that recognises hand signals and translates them into electronic commands. Displaying a clenched fist means start, an outstretched hand with closed fingers means power on, a thumbs-up sign means volume up and a sideways victory sign means change channel. The technology is the brainchild of Prashan Premaratne, a lecturer at the university, and his former PhD student Quang Nguyen.
