New touchless remote made to B&O, very nice...

WOW!!! that is design! and more B&O! but.... it will never work will it?  I could see me launching this against a wall when changing channels but doing something else... could become quite irritating....

Like the Beo1, less was less! and quite a simple remote was practically (imo) difficult to use on a day to day basis. 

I have been testing it and it works! I would buy one if possible.

Fascinating concept!  This appears to be software driven.  It would be nice to have a simple gesture controlled remote...I would love to test one of this...

 

Looking forward to B&O implementing this concept in near future offerings.

Am I correct in saying the remote will only work if placed on a flat surface?

I love the idea and see it as your day-to-day remote. I have programmed a select few channels that I often watch in a group (similar to a playlist). All I ever do is hop to the next the channel and change the volume. It is rare that I need to change setups, choose DVD, etc. so this remote would probably become my day-to-day remote, as long as it reads my input first time and I don't find it too tricky to use. My Beo4 / Beo5 would be my portable remote around the house and used for more complex inputs such as changing settings and controlling different sources.

Wow, sorry i'm a bit late, i just saw this, i like that this is outside the boundaries of today, this is where we move forward with technology, pushing buttons on a remote will be old fashioned soon enough, beo 5 is BEHIND. B&O need a new chief designer, me thinks. He is very good, and has designed some incredible pieces, but it's time to move ahead of everyone else's ideas. Isn't that what B&O is supposed to be the leader of?

Any recent feedback regarding this nice remote ?

Cheers,

Seems to have gone very quiet on this front Guy which is a shame because I was following this product with much interst too. I love the concept and it would be perfect if B&O produced it. Right up their street I think. We know it was an idea from a student that B&O loved and awarded a first prize for in a competition. Not too sure about any developments since. I would love to see this as a working product and would buy it without hesitation. I think its groundbreaking rather like the 7000 remote was. Here's hoping!

IIRC Joris was mainly interested in the user interface itself. The remote was mainly a vehicle to demonstrate this...

Thanks for your feedback. Should we expect so see this beautiful remote on the market or is the Joris's project postponed in a close future ?

Cheers,

AFAIK Joris doesn't have any plans for the remote. 🙁 Maybe he will sell the concept to a third party.
