HITACHI: Developing New System to make TV viewing more easy

Published: May 13, 2010

Searching for the TV remote may become a thing of the past. Hitachi is
promoting a prototype television that can be controlled by open-hand
gestures. A rapid wave will power up the set and a circular motion will
change the channel. The technology understands both single- and two-hand
gestures, providing a braod range of commands. A small 3D sensor from
CanestaInc. can watch people as far away a 9 ft, regardless of room decor
lighting. The imaging sensor can tell the difference between a human hand and
a sweatshirt or photograph with images of life-size hands.
