Intel TV remote recognizes individuals and tailors content to them

Those geniuses at Intel Labs are at it again. When they aren’t making cars that drive for you, or accelerating the world of computer processing, they are making TV remotes that can identify individual people. The concept behind the idea is simple, learn people and their specific movements. By using an accelerometer to take readings every 100 nanoseconds, the remote will be able to map a user’s motions and learn the little twitches and idiosyncrasies unique to every person. This will be particularly helpful for parents who don’t want their children to watch certain programs. That is, until the children learn that if they take a short trip to the tv, they can change the channel to whatever they want.
