Submission + - Using simple hand gestures to control your TV
Gary writes: "Australian scientists have reportedly come up with a box that lets television viewers change channels, switch on the DVD player or switch off an irritating presenter with the wave of a hand. The controller has a built in camera which can recognize simple hand gestures and work with up to eight different gadgets around the home. A clenched fist means "start", an outstretched hand with closed fingers means "power on", a thumbs-up sign means "up" and a sideways victory sign means "channel"."
