If you are thinking of buying a new TV, then you have to wait a little bit. Why? Because scientists at a Toshiba research laboratory in Cambridge, have created a new technology in TVs that allow viewers to operate their TV purely by gestures.

For example, raising a hand in a stop sign would pause the action on TV, or if you flap a hand up or down will raise or lower the volume. This is only the default settings; you can customize it to suit you or your family. For instance, touching your right ear would increase volume, while touching your left ear would lower it. How convenient is that?

The TV comes with installed camera that can even recognize viewers and automatically change the channel to their favorite shows.

Toshiba said its gesture recognition system was already extremely accurate as it responded to the shape, color and motion of hands. No information yet provided regarding price and the time to go on sale.
