LG's New Magic Remote Is Your Wand For The Smart TV [Video]
Giving a much-applauded boost to the previous version the new LG magic remote is sure garnering appreciative looks. Launched a bit ahead of the CES 2013, The LG Magic Remote has a lot more to offer along with the gesture, point, wheel and voice controls. We take a close look at the new features and we find - the natural language processing option appealing because it brings for the users a way to converse with their TV. Users can talk the TV into selecting channels, searching through menus or can simply browse online. LG proudly shows off the magic remote nixing the 'awkward pause' between voicing a command and the system taking the appropriate action. Apart from all that, the point feature lets the user click, drag and drop through the cursor and shows the capability of being used as a motion-based video game controller. Moreover, the wheel has made the scrolling down long pages of text or zooming in and out of onscreen apps like Google Maps seem handy and useful. You will also love that under the spatial gestures, a user can draw a number in the air while holding the remote and the system will recognize the gesture and switch the TV to the appropriate channel. Impressive, isn't it?

Yes, the LG Magic Remote looks good too. It comes in two models. And by the looks of it, both have optimized grip and quite intuitively-positioned buttons. One of the models will be shipped with the company's premium CINEMA 3D Smart TVs and features LED backlit buttons in a compact design, while the other will ship with LG's standard CINEMA 3D Smart TV models. It is indeed an universal magic remote. How do you like it? Share with us in comments.
