Here s a gadget that may look like pure magical wizardry but in fact it should be identified, quite literally as the ultimate in €œtechnical wizardry. The fantastic Kymera " Magic Wand" is a BUTTONLESS remote control fashioned as a magic w&. In 2010 the Wand was featured on BBC s Dragon s Den. Duncan Bannatyne, arguably the most difficult Dragon to convince was so impressed, he invested £200, 000 in the business. The wand is a universal remote control that can be €œlearned up to thirteen infra- red commands. Each command or code can then be assigned a gesture. For instance, rotate the wand clockwise & anti-clockwise & this can adjust the volume. Or perhaps changing the channel on the television could be a simple flick up & flick down for channel up /down. Sounds fun? It is. However these magical gestures are all programmed into a highly technical piece of equipment. All 13 gestures can be programmed into one single device or split between several it s up to you; channel hopping on the TV, controlling hi-fis, DVD players, set-top boxes, iPod docks, & computers. Features & specifications Kymera Magic wand which is really a Universal Remote control 13 progammable gestures just like a magic wand Big/ Swish, Push forward, Pull Back & two single & double taps Adjusting the volume
- rotate the w&. Channel up & channel down
- flick up & flick down CD track slip
- Flick left & right The wand pulses when you are doing something With a sleep mode when it's put down
- pick it up or start moving it & it wakes with three heart beats Comes gift box iin a lovely looking "magic box" Requires 2 x AAA batteries (included) And finally, if you want to know how it works (and shatter the illusion), read the Techo Magic blurb below... Techno Magic €¦ €¦ It may be a magic w&, but it all powered by the wonders of modern science. The technology that powers the wand is based on science, but it is so advanced & so miniaturised that it might as well be magic. Based on the advances in motion sensing, the accelerometer that tells the wand s microprocessor how hard it is & in which direction accelerating was originally developed for use in cars. These tiny silicon architectures are microscopically small but can detect the force of gravity even at rest. They are the sort of thing that detects if you are slowing down very rapidly in a traffic accident & signals for the airbag to deploy, or you ll find them in mobile phones & cameras telling the device which way up to put the picture. The wand has a special three axis accelerometer that can measure the g force in x-y-and z. Using this information, & constantly updating the programme for the orientation of the w&, a special program on the onboard microprocessor can tell how the wand is being moved about. Using some clever maths the microprocessor determines if the move made by the wand bearer was a deliberate on & if so, whether or not it was one of the predefined gestures programmed into it at manufacture. If it recognises the gesture then the wand s microprocessor plays back the infra red remote code that it has been taught by the user to associate with that gesture. A very small vibration motor similar to that found in a mobile phone gently pulses inside the wand to give what is called haptic feedback to the user so that they know that the wand has understood the gesture & has emitted an infrared remote control code. The whole assembly is squeezed into the shape of a w&, & put together so that there are no visible seams & no unsightly screws to give the game away & that s it, the Kymera W&. It s simple really. Spin back 50 or 100 years & what the wand does would have been real magic, but if you spin back a further 200 years it s likely you would have been burnt at the stake for using the Kymera W&. But then you wouldn t have had a 72inch plasma screen to magically control.
