Hello, I have been working on pointing devices for TV to access internet, games and other services. So far I have used different devices like Wavlt by ThinkOptics which is based on absolute pointing and Loop by Hillchrest lab which is based on relative pointing technology.

I feel like switching to normal mouse and keyboard. I am wondering if you people also had similar experiences? Do you think pointing technology as future for digital TV? Are there any other better devices for using internet on TV? Are there any gesture based interaction products for TV? Thank You! ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
