Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Lab shows off gesture-controlled TVs, image recognition
Filed under: Digital Cameras, Displays
Toshiba is pulling an EyeToy, minus a diabolical plan to actually sell the thing and make a killing off of collectable elemental decks. The company’s Cambridge-based Research Lab has some new video camera-based feature they’re prototyping for possible eventual TV implementation. The real highlight is a fist-based cursor control — just stick out your hand, make a fist, and control a cursor on-screen for navigating the TV’s functions. You can also put up your palm to stop the madness, and even rotate 3D images on-screen, but it’s all a little shaky for now. Another thing we saw was picture recognition: hold up a cue card to the TV with an image on it and the TV recognizes it and performs a pre-assigned function. Tosh is also working on speech recognition and some other things; not really changing the world, but some fun stuff all the same.
