Smart Remote

The Smart Remote allows users to control all of their connected devices with a single remote, just by pointing in the direction of the device. That includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and infrared devices, which are mapped out using sensors placed in the home. The sensors tell the remote which device the user is pointing at, and the interface on the remote changes automatically – so that a user can adjust the volume on their music when pointing at their speakers, or change the channel when pointing at their TV. Made by San Francisco-based Sevenhugs, the Smart Remote recently completed a $1.1 million Kickstarter campaign and is now available for pre-order for $299, which pre-order device shipping in September.
