Magic Wand-Inspired Remotes

The LG Magic Remote Controls Your TV with a Few Simple Waves

If ever there were a remote control that required little to no effort to use while simultaneously making the user feel like a wizard, the LG Magic Remote is it.

With only a few simple buttons, the Magic Remote acts as an extension of the user's index finger. It can be pointed at the TV, moved around and clicked to select different options just like a computer mouse. By performing simple gestures in the air, the user can also perform different tasks like changing the channel, increase the volume or even more complex commands such as switching the TV mode.

The Magic Remote also has smart voice recognition, meaning it can follow your vocal instructions to help you find what you're looking for on your TV or on the web.

With the new LG Magic Remote Smart TV, users will feel more powerful than ever since with a few simple waves of their wands, they'll have the whole world in their hands.
