Colloquium: Remote Control System in Television - Questions/Discussions

nice how stuff works article😀


Shonali, Looks like your article talks about IR remote systems right?
Now a days we have many other PAN technologies such as Bluetooth taking leap. why can't Bluetooth be used for remote controlling? or can it be used?

I think Bluetooth's high power consumption limits it use for relatively simple remote controlling applications. I think so far IR is the most efficient means of controlling if you only have a limited set of commands, and if there isn't any obstructions in the LOS.
