JVC Handclap & Gesture Recognition TV demonstrated at CEATEC

Clap Clap Clap to operate the TV, as gestures give icons.

JVC Handclap & Gesture Recognition TV JVC has showcased a new TV that reacts on claps and hand gestures, at CEATEC in Japan. It’s called the “handclap & gesture recognition TV”.

The company said that the TV has the ability to collect the sounds of handclaps with the help of the microphone that is placed on top of the TV. Further, it distinguishes commands based on the timing and number of handclaps.

Now, check out how the system actually works.

Initially, when the TV is switched on, icons will be placed on the center of the screen after the user claps three times. The image of the hands acts as a pointer.

When the user clap his/her hands twice while watching TV, the volume control and channel icons appear in the center of the screen. As soon as the two icons turn red, the user can choose and determine the icon by clapping once again, as the desired icon is lit.

According to the company, the sound filter has been integrated to avoid the TV from making error operations due to the sound from the TV itself and the surroundings.

Additionally, the hand gesture recognition works through the camera fitted on the top of the TV monitor. With the hand gestures that the user makes, accordingly the operation is made. The user places his or her fingertip on it to specify the icon and click on any icon by bending and extending a finger, which in return provides a required channel on the TV.

JVC has developed the screen by adopting 3D images for operating buttons on the screen.

No mention on the commercialization of the JVC TV.
