Hillcrest Loop features motion sensor

You know how excited everybody is with the launch of the Nintendo Wii just days away, and it is not only the games that got everybody buzzing but the motion sensing controller as well. One thing’s for sure – the Wii might or might not come out on top during this latest round of console wars, but it sure has sparked the release of other motion sensing items such as Hillcrest’s Loop. The Loop is a TV remote control that looks like a giant ring, featuring just a couple of buttons and a scroll wheel. You use your hand motions to control the on-screen cursor, while the scroll wheel and buttons are used to channel surf and change volume levels respectively. No idea on when this is available, nor how much it costs.
