The remote control bagel

Juniper Foo | Jan 09, 2006

A.k.a. one darn cool-looking remote, the space-agey Loop from Hillcrest Labs is really a free-space controller. Great for impressing guests when you start waving and pointing the Loop in the air a la David Copperfield, and voila, things happen. Well, mostly on the TV screen that is. There are just two buttons and a scroll wheel, and according to the CNET team at CES 2006, Hillcrest Labs has designed an onscreen user interface that's both simple and intuitive, with an interface that zooms in and out as you move between categories and directories.
