[/img]PrimeSense had a feeling this kind of revolution would take over
the television world when we spoke with them last March at GDC, and
sure enough, said revolution is happening. LG's already integrated
motion controls into its sets with its Magic Remote, and now Hillcrest
is providing a solution just in case the rest of the world wants to
buy in. Hailed as a "turnkey solution," the Freespace MotionEngine is
now integrated with Broadcom's BCM35230 digital TV SoC and BCM20730
single-chip Bluetooth solution. That's a lot of technobabble, for
sure, but the long and short of it is this: by integrating this into
televisions, Freespace / BT-enabled remotes that are equipped with the
right sensors can allow TV viewers to control channel switching,
volume levels and who knows what else with just their hands. The
outfit will be busting out a demo here in Vegas, so we'll be doing our
best to catch a glance.
