Palm replacement remote control device?

A team of researchers at the University of Osaka (Japan) has developed a system that uses hand movements in the palm to replace a remote control device. Control of electronic appliances.

The system is very simple: a control screen is projected onto a palms with buttons on the fingers, the user uses the other hand to press the button, a camera captures these movements and transmits Data to change volume or radio. Developed protocols can control a TV by hand by pressing buttons on the palm of the other hand.

At present, the system requires bulky equipment, but the team is working with a company to find an application in the industry. They hope to launch the technology in the next five years and will not need to use the remote control device in the family.
