Apple Patent Filing On Remote Wand For Apple TV

Apple Wand Patent

Wiimote wanna be. With all their different technology for Human interaction on their products, multi-touch just isn’t enough. It is evident that Apple is considering a Wiimote-like controller for the Apple TV. Then again, with Apple pretty much Patenting everything on the surface of this planet, we still can’t guarantee that this will surface, or not.

The remote wand will be used to control just about everything and anything of the Apple TV. Basically, twisting and flipping the wand will allow the user to flip through the music library, rotate pictures, and to control a cursor on the screen. If we are lucky, the remote can even be used on a paint application.

It seems that Apple’s target for the future is to reduce buttons, and increase gestures. Coolious.
