The News – A motion sensitive TV remote control has been manufactured by LG which it plans to offer along with regular remote on new TVs sold during this year.
The Opportunity – Any innovation in the TV remote area is welcome especially with all the buzz about 3D TVs and HDTV. Also most of today’s remotes are clunky and pretty overwhelming especially for old people or for doing infrequent tasks.
The Challenge – The solution proposed is similar to joysticks used for gaming or using simple motion to achieve common tasks but even this could be a challenge to achieve infrequent tasks. Also it is still not very intuitive to use and people may need to unlearn their earlier habits which could be a big stumbling block to adopt this innovation.
The trend – Manufacturers are looking at successes in other areas and trying to replicate that across domains.
