You've misplaced your remote before and have felt too lazy to get up in search of it. What if you could simply switch channels with a wave of your hand?

eyeSight Mobile Technologies has teamed up with Innodigital to create the nTobeBox, a set-top box that allows you to interact with your TV in an entirely hands-on/gadget-free way.

The nTobeBox, running on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich OS, turns any ordinary TV into a SmartTV that goes past conventional televised broadcast viewing, -- it allows for streaming content, apps, video calls, Internet connectivity and intuitive hand gesture recognition.
