The more and more hardwired devices we get, the more remotes come with our new gadgets. During the CES 2010 show, I met up with a Thinkoptics that has a very cool solution - a build your own / design your remote that will work with all IR-based devices and control it with your iPhone.
With the latest addition to the Wavit product family, the iWavit™, you will be able to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch™ into almost any virtual Remote Control. Watch the demo here....
Not only can you
remotely control TVs and DVDs using the built-in
universal IR remote control feature, but you can also control PCs or Macs by directly pointing your Wavit Remote at the TV screen.
Where you point is where the cursor will go! Direct pointing makes navigating
PC applications or the Internet very easy.
In addition to being
a 3D "air" mouse, the iWavit / iPhone can also act as a full RF
keyboard, PowerPoint presentation device, Universal IR Learning Remote, PC
Media Center Remote, and Apple Mac Front-Row controller. Moreover, with the
help of a built-in
RF microphone, the iWavit can be used to talk directly to a PC allowing remote
voice control or instant VoIP calls. Imagine saying “Open Internet Explorer”,
or “Start Skype”.
