TCL Android motion-sensing TV

[CES 2011] Since the explosion of the Kinect, it looks like getting everything in your house to work like the computers in Minority Report is but a step away. At least the folks at The Creative Life (TCL) seem to think so. At CES this year, TCL unveiled an unreleased Android-powered TV with motion sensors to let users operate the TV without using a remote control. With the flick of a wrist or movement of the arm, users can start or stop playback, change channels and increase or decrease the volume of the television set. The TV is still in research and development stage, but from what we can see it looks pretty promising. I guess this will eliminate problems with losing the TV remote or forgetting to change batteries in the future. Hit the break to watch a video demonstration:

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
