Gestures to control JVC's TV and Sony Z555 Mobile Phone

JVC´s "Snap & Gesture" TV
The days and nights of pressing tangible buttons to operate your favorite channels on TVs and cell phones are now changed to just waving clapping, and pointing your hands! It is absolutely amazing!

With JVC´s "Snap & Gesture" TV technology, users can communicate with their gadgets using a pre-programmed "sign language" and so is Sony Ericsson's Z555 gesture phone.

JVC´s "Snap & Gesture" TV, which ensures that you´ll never think about the remote again, is a boon. The TV is still in the demo stage though. However, it has been in the brains of many before it is launched and contains a microphone to detect clapping, a video camera to recognize finger movements, and a set of sensors that can help the system memorize customized gestures.

Video below shows how you can control TV with your hand gestures:



To control the TV:

User claps their hands three times to make a menu with icons appear. The user can choose an icon by placing their fingertip on it, which is verified by an image of the user´s hand on the screen, as tracked by the camera. By hooking their finger, the user "clicks" to select an icon. On the menu screen, users can select channels, manage the set-up, and do everything a remote control can do using hand waves, claps or finger snaps.

The system can also be programmed so that specific
clapping patterns result in going to specific channels (for example, two claps means switch to Comedy Central).

The release date for the "Snap & Gesture" TV is not out yet. However, people are already keeping their fingers crossed waiting for it!

~ The Sony Z555~ ------------>

Sony´s Z555 allows cell phone users to avoid fiddling with their phones when trying to turn off the ring of an incoming call or alarm. Instead of picking it up and searching for the silent button, users can mute the phone by waving a hand back and forth over the phone thanks to an embedded camera.

The Z555 features a diamond design on its black cover and is available in select markets this spring, but the price is still to be determined.

A simple hand sweep over the phone will put the device into "snooze" mode when the alarm of Sony Z555 goes off.
