The nTobeBox, running on Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS, turns any ordinary TV into a SmartTV that goes past conventional televised broadcast viewing, but allows for streaming content, apps, video calls, Internet connectivity and intuitive hand gesture recognition.
Where Sonic Screwdriver is your New TV Remote eye Sight’s technology allows “users comprehensive control over every aspect of Innodigital’s set-top box,” the company said in a press release.
Both hand gestures and hand tracking enable virtual mouse control, yielding full control over the TV as if one were using a hand held remote.
In the coming years, Innodigital is seeking to work with TV providers to package the box with a digital television subscription.
