JVC’s new TV likes applause
A television that dynamically responds to clapping and applause? This new set from electronics manufacturer JVC allows users to control many standard functions by clapping and gesturing. Think of it as a sort of combination between a Nintendo Wii and a "Clap on / Clap Off" light fixture. The TV has a set of sensors that is able to memorize commands based on human hand / arm waving and the sound of clapping. You could, for example, program the device to flip to CNN every time you clap twice. It also responds to gestures, allowing you to select on-screen prompts by moving your arm. No word on when we can expect this technology to trickle down to the consumer level, but we’re pretty excited nonetheless. Bye bye remote control
Sweet, everybody is getting so lazy we can’t even use a remote control. Awesome.
No really it is pretty awesome I can’t wait it’s gonna be sweet.
This is really cool, you never see JVC in the news, and here they are. That’s gonna be a best-selling TV once it does come out. You know I’ll get one!! =P
I really wanna see this in action don’t wanna be interrupted when watching a game by applauses and such lol
Definatly cool but why not just use voice command?
@ zac,
Wouldn’t voice just give control back to the tv?
Without a remote, I can just see the fights in the family room because somebody’s annoying brother or sister started waving arms!
I wonder if I could tune the TV to playboy by just sitting on the couch and pulling my thing out
This is both useful and stupid. Steve you make a valid point, I could imagine someone who has kids and the kids would become irritating by playing with the sensor or clapping on purpose.
Also this means you have to sit exactly still or else the sensor will think you are trying to change the channel everytime you reach out to grab your drink =P
