An interaction and product design of gesture based TV remote control

INTRODUCTION Our target device, AIR-Remote, is a rod-shape device with 3gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers so that it can realize the size, shape, speed, and acceleration of a user hand movements in three dimensional space. Like other multimodal approaches have been done, ours also focused on natural and intuitive interaction design, as well as fun-touse interaction due to the characteristics of TV remote. We created gestures through free brainstorming sessions, and at the same time conducted a series of user research in order to find out the context of use of TV remote control. Finally, we decided user friendly gesture set and applied it on working prototype designed innovatively.
