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.Gallery: Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Lab shows off gesture-controlled TVs, image recognitionPermalink | Email this | Comments

After reading the above list, you may feel that most phone card companies are just
out to trick you into paying too much for long-distance calls. That’s not always
the case. There are many reputable phone card companies out there - just keep an
eye out for those companies who don’t state up front exactly what you’re paying
for. If a company hides charges, they’re probably trying to cheat you out of your
money.calling
