The techno-magic wand

Hands up who has never dreamed of owning a magic wand, of imitating the gestures of Wizard Merlin or Harry Potter, or who simply has never wished that saying “Abracadabra” was enough to solve his own problems. If you belong to this large number of people, nowadays technology can come to help you.

In fact, a multifunctional remote control>, the Kymera Magic Wand is coming from Great Britain. It has the shape of a magic wand and was created by the Wand Company.

Even though it is based on the reliable radio or infrared technology, the Magic Wand does not have any keys: it works using an accelerometer which enables it to “feel” some simple gestures of the user and to transform them into signals that give orders to almost all the electronic devices in the house (TV, stereo system, etc.).

The Magic Wand is able to memorize till 13 gestures whereby you can make it do any kind of tasks: switching the lights on and off, opening the garage door or simply changing channel or adjusting the volume of the TV. With this technological Magic Wizard there is no need to utter bizarre magic formulas, but it will be enough to lift your wand up, for example to order your TV to change channel, or to spin it clockwise or counter-clockwise to respectively lower or raise the volume. Moreover, you’ll have another advantage; all these movements can be done also in the dark: you will not have to turn the light on any more during a good movie to find the volume key on the remote.

If you want to replace your remote control with this super technological gadget, you can receive it at home as by magic for a little less than fifty pounds (about 54 Euro). Perhaps it will cost you a bit of effort to program or store “magic” gestures, but - you know - amazing your friends is priceless.
