Motion Sensitive Remote Control
When the Nintendo Wii came along, the world changed. The world of video games, the world of remote controls, that particular world. We got up, we went outside, and we started to play sports and do exercise for entertainment again! Oh wait that didn’t happen at all! We might go there again someday but for now, our world’s got things like Ryan Sorrell’s “Remotion” – Nintendo not affiliated.
Up and down for volume, left and right for channel changing. How much simpler can you get? I imagine a bit of carpal tunnel for those surfers who are extra intense into high-volume channeling. Watch out for THAT.
Designer: Ryan Sorrell

Great, instead of pressing a tiny button and barely moving a finger I have to wave my arm around like an idiot.

And im guessing it doesn’t work with every TV.
Hmm… Im in channel 2… I need to get to channel 165… so i have to swing my arm to the right 163 times… Great.

I have the Logitech MX Airmouse. This interaction exists!

1) what about when you put it on the edge of the sofa and falls off?
2)You have tilt it AND keep it pointed at the IR sensor on the tv?
Nice idea, looks good too, but another product solving a problem that doesn’t exist.

Television controls would be more fun changing channels using your thoughts only. And it's possible today!
If future television will bring us virtual reality glasses, the sensors could be built inside them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VPY1d2t_FE
In the early days you had to change the channel by turning a knob on the tele. Imagine that!
Now, what would Wallace do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqQ_NEGInKE
