Hi Steemit family!

About 20 years ago or maybe more we come using a technology that revolutionized our world, I mentioned in the previous publication how infrared technology is still used in remote controls today, although there are new technologies like the laser that have been destined to new remote controls providing greater accuracy.

The controls are part of our lives but that is about to change in an abysmal way, the controls maintain characteristics not very different from the primitive ones, to raise or to lower the volume, to turn on or to turn off, to change of channel they continue seeing in the remote controls of the televisions, some novel functions as to record our programs or even more updated as to return in the line of time or even to advance are part of the advances that we can find in these devices.

The problem is that a few buttons now have more functions and that makes it a little complicated to manipulate inevitably hindering our interaction with technology, and this is where it comes into play the advance that you are creating a Dutch company called Atmel corporation who have created a device called SPIN remote that promises to change completely our vision on the traditional remote control.

The SPIN remote allows not only to have control over the television set, and this is achieved without the need for buttons, this intelligent device works with an advanced system of recognition of gestures, which include pointing, turning, sliding fingers and some case push one or another button. Not only allows you to have control over the T.V., but it also allows you to have other devices such as lighting lamps, the sound system, air conditioning, and many more functions. But how do you do it?

Here comes the most ironic part of the matter, it does so through the same infrared technology, this sends the signals that command to raise or lower or turn off our sound equipment, or adjust the lighting from powerful to dim if desired, the technological advance is the gestural recognition that allows the device to interpret the order and process it in the form of infrared signals that are directed to the device that previously must be registered in the database of the remote SPIN.

It is also integrated with a mobile application Ios and Android in which we can store configuration data, as well as gestures to apply to the devices we want to control, its appearance is very different from traditional remote controls, it resembles a knob, is made of resistant aluminum and has LED indicators that allow us to see in different shades of light the colors assigned to electronic equipment.

But not everything revolves around the SPIN remote, as well as continuing to dominate the traditional use of control, only that with this device we can have a more sophisticated and detailed use of certain functions in order to have a more rewarding experience by saving time by pressing some buttons of the normal control.

The project was launched by the famous social finance platform Kickstarter where it surpassed the goal of 100,000 dollars for its subsequent launch and its estimated price to the consumer is about 70 dollars.

So it's time to stop using so many controls and relax in the comfort of your home to enjoy a movie, now you don't have to get up to turn off your lights or control the weather where you are. This and many functions position the device in a privileged place and although there are more devices looking for similar functions I think that this initiative is one of the most successful.
