Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Anticipated iRing Remote Will Offer a Literal "Digital" Experience

— April 5, 2013 — Tech
The curse of the missing remote control is bound to worsen with the introduction of the iRing Remote; however, this is no reason to write off the cutting-edge product. AppleInsider was told that the channel changer that's set to accompany the upcoming version of Apple TV will be reduced to the size of a small fashion accessory. It will supposedly offer the user a range of impressive functions within a conveniently compact device.

Working with motion-sensing technology, the Apple Television clicker will presumably allow the watcher to navigate the various buttons and features on the screen with just subtle movements of his hand. The iRing Remote Control would make the process of browsing TV shows, movies and other media a great deal more intuitive and significantly more hi-tech.
