G2 Microsystems demonstrates WiFi remote, makes our mouths water
Sat, Jan 17, 2009
G2 Microsystems burst onto the scene at CES with its Intel My WiFi Personal Area Network demonstration, but evidently it had a little more going on than that. Engineering TV managed to catch up with the team and get a closer look at a prototype WiFi remote that could certainly prove useful in a home theater setup. Put simply, a WiFi module was embedded with a relatively standard Philips universal remote, and from there, users could snatch album art, tune into internet radio stations and tap into web-connected home servers in order to control home audio or pretty much anything else. There’s no telling when G2 will land a serious partner willing to push out a WiFi-infused controller, but judging by the looks of things, we’d say it’s just about ready for primetime.
