????哈里森與微軟研究院（Microsoft Research）和卡耐基梅隆大學(xué)的一名同事一道開發(fā)了一個(gè)移動(dòng)式互動(dòng)系統(tǒng)的原型機(jī),。這個(gè)名叫OmniTouch的系統(tǒng)可以把包括人體在內(nèi)的任何界面當(dāng)成屏幕,。OmniTouch與哈里森發(fā)明的另一個(gè)人體界面項(xiàng)目Armura都提供了一種新的遙控方式，也就是將人類與媒體的互動(dòng)融合為一種更簡(jiǎn)單的東西——即環(huán)境本身,。

????Together with Microsoft Research and a CMU colleague, Harrison prototyped a mobile interaction system, OmniTouch, that turns any surface, including the human body, into a screen. Both OmniTouch, and another of his on-body interface projects, Armura, offer a new evolution of control—one where human interaction with our media experience dissolves into something much simpler: the environment itself.

????So what this the future of the remote control? "We need to bring great new interaction and interface design to the remote control itself, the compatibility, the crowdsourcing. We absolutely need that because that is what the customer is buying. They demand innovation when they buy our product as opposed to when they buy a cable package," Simon says. Meanwhile manufacturers will experimenting with voice, gesture, and touch and consumers will play, voting for their choice with gestures and buttons on how to put the control in the remote experience. At least finally this is an evolution, one Joe Stinziano's audience has been waiting to hear about for more than fifty years.
