Wave goodbye to the TV remote control
A high-tech TV which can be controlled by moving your hands at the screen could see us wave goodbye to the traditional remote.
Using a camera which to watch the viewers the prototype TV 'looks' for key hand movements to switch channel or change the volume.
Moving your hand up or down will alter the volume, while quickly raising one palm can pause live TV.
Boffins at the Toshiba Cambridge Research Labs say the TV - which has gone on show in Germany - could even recognize a viewer and flick to their favorite channel.
That could be a bit embarrassing when you sit down with your girlfriend and the TV automatically switches to Asian Babes TV.
Makers say the TV should be available within five years but no price has yet been set.
They also add that the TV can distinguish between 'control' movements and stretching and, well, lets say scratching.
