JVC Turned On by a Clap

Now you can show your TV the finger and still expect it to respond; at least if it’s one of JVC’s new models. No release date has been mentioned yet, as the technology is still in development, but Gizmodo says the unit has a set-top camera that tracks hand movements.

How exactly it will react to customers (or vice versa) remains to be seen. Many feel clapping is as strenuous as using a remote, but it’s definitely a crazy gimmick that will grab attention.
