The modern digital living room is an amazing place. Large HDTV screens, Cable/Satellite
reception, and Digital Video
Recorders (DVRs) are showing up in more and more homes. But it doesn't stop there. Many homes have broadband
always-on Internet access, wireless
networks, and game consoles connected to the family TV. And PCs are now
starting to make their way into the
living room in the form of Media
Center or Home Theatre
PCs that offer even more
choices and capabilities.
But with all this choice comes some serious pain. TV navigation is quickly approaching a
bottleneck in the Digital Living
Room with an ever increasing number of devices to control
and a rapidly growing amount of digital content to navigate:
Remote: WavIt MC: Media
Center Remote Control-
When combined with a simple and intuitive user interface,
navigation and control of digital multimedia content(e.g.,
video, music, TV, Internet) is transformed from a tangle of devices and
equipment to an easy and natural
lean-back experience. Revolutionize the digital living
room. "Point-and-Flick"
and every device is under your immediate control. Convergence like you have never experienced it before.
