A Voice-Controlled TV Remote

Posted by timothy on Sunday April 3, 2005 @10:13AM from the your-little-sister-doesn't-count dept.

Pankaj Arora writes "California-based Agile TV aims to 'change the way people watch TV' via the creation of its voice-controlled TV remote, Promptu. From the article: 'The Promptu remote is designed to replace a conventional remote control and includes a "Talk" button and a built-in microphone, together with an infra-red receiver used in conjunction with an existing cable box.' Personally, I'm waiting for the version that interfaces with your brain."

I could set it up so when I yell at the TV, it will increase the volume. That way, when I'm watching my right-wing extremist news, and some idiot leftist opens his mouth, I can yell at the TV, the volume will increase, so I will yell louder, so the volume will increase even more, and we can have a volume duel with me, the right-wing extremist, against some idiot leftist.
By the way, Bush told the truth.
