Yes, you are right +Google TV, half from Microsoft, half from Google, a wonderful combination of the two deadly rivals. Now, you just need to raise your hands and wave at your Google TV, and then you can operate it. Of course, Microsoft and Google do not provide such a function themselves. You can only rely on hackers to crack this function with their technology.

A Daniel named Leon Nichols recently developed such an application called Gesture TV. Through this application, users can capture body movements through Microsoft Kinect and control Google TV. Leon Nichols has previously participated in the development of Able Remote application for Google TV. This time, he developed this application using the source code on Github, a programming community. The video is as follows:

Undoubtedly, controlling TV with gestures is more of an experiment, but it also shows that TV platforms like Google TV open their remote control APIs, and developers can use them to play many tricks. Gesture TV introduced above is based on Google's remote control protocol Anynote, which is also used in Able Remote developed by Nichols and applications such as Chronmeremote.

In addition, Google is also developing Similar to Apple Airplay New generation streaming media and remote control protocol (for current main streaming media and remote transmission protocols, see:《 Introduction to AirPlay, DLNA and Miracast 》）Google hopes to open related services to other stakeholders in the industry and unite them around Google's system. As Timbo Drayson, the product manager of Google, said, "We really want to push the whole industry forward."
