Movea MoveTV platform delivers motion control options to TV and set-top makers
In case you've been living under a rock: motion controls are all the rage these days. And it's not just console makers who want in on the action. ASUS, Philips and Hillcrest Labs have all launched their own takes on the tech. Movea is a company that's well versed in the field, and now plans to start offering its wares direct to TV and set-top box manufacturers. The MoveTV platform offers not only remote control tech to OEMs, but opens up the company's tools to developers for building games and apps. Movea even announced its first partners: C&M Media, a major cable provider in Korea, and Remote Solution. Remote Solution will be licensing Movea's SmartMotion and integrating MoveTV into the set-tops provided to C&M. Soon enough using gestures to change channels and playing arm-flailing renditions of Angry Birds on your cable box could be the norm. Check out the video, PR and one more pic after the break.
Remote Solution's RH60 touchscreen remote hits the FCC
It looks like those looking for a little all-in-one control of their overwhelming electronics collection will soon have another option at their disposal courtesy of Remote Solution, with the company's RH60 touchscreen remote recently passing through the FCC's all-important hands. Looking as much like a PMP as a remote, the fully-programmable device boasts a decently-sized 3.9-inch LCD, with both IR and ZigBee wireless connectivity, along with 64MB of Flash storage and 64MB of SDRAM. At least some of that space appears to have already been put to good use by Remote Solution, with a version of Tetris coming pre-loaded on the remote, along with a basic memo app and an alarm clock. Of course, the FCC doesn't have much control over price, which means we'll have to wait a bit longer for any word on that, as well as any indication on exactly when it'll be available.
