Toshiba’s SpursEngine processing chip is coming into the publics eye dressed up as a DVD player. This powerful chip is being used along with a camera to detect and interpret hand motions to operate a DVD player. I wonder how sensitive the gadget is? Will the unknowing nose-picker accidentally skip to the end of the movie? Regardless, we won’t have to worry about losing the remote anymore.  The laptop-based technology runs on the company's new "SpursEngine" chip, which can process motion detected by a camera and turn it into commands to control a DVD player. It's based on the same Cell chip design that powers Sony's PlayStation 3 gaming console.
The camera can detect hand motions from 10 feet away, said Akio Sakai, a Toshiba specialist manning the display where the company's prototype was unveiled on Tuesday at the CEATEC electronics show outside Tokyo.
