Voice and motion controlled television to enter the market

Ever imagined how remote controlled TV revolutionary reduced the effort needed while operating your home theater. Changing channels, switching from TV to browsing or to games could have been very tough without an infra-red remote. Taking the ease of use to another level, the most discussed electronics gadget giant, Samsung, unveiled a new array of smart TV at Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which will be operated by voice, facial recognition and motion gestures. So now you can see and do what you want with your TV without even reaching your TV remote.

This ES8000 TV is powered with a dual core processor to make sure that all the applications your regular TV, a Web browser and apps like Netflix run simultaneously on your TV and you can switch between them without even closing an application. But the coolest part will of course be the control mechanism. Imagine yourself controlling your TV by saying 'Channel 25' or 'Guide'. You can also use gesture controls to control system volume, browsing and switch between one application to other. Giving all this a thought, it will be more like what we see in a sci-fi Hollywood movie.

TV content is accessed through the Smart TV menu which includes other features like "Family Story"(can upload photos and videos from a mobile device to the TV) and special hubs for fitness content and for kids.

Sad part is that, the ES8000, along with most of the other devices Samsung announced Monday, didn't get an exact release date except for "sometime this year."
