TV Remote Control via Sensors (TVRCS)

Improving handheld devices for people with disabilities

 Designer:  Orlando M. Pena 

Client: Arturo Del Villar  

Abstract  

            The TV Remote Control via Sensors (TVRCS) is a device, which operates using the basic functions of a regular television set. The sensors allow to either move forward or backward the channel as well as increase/decrease the volume, and to power on or off a television set. This device is specifically designed for people who have difficulty in gripping and pressing down the buttons of a traditional remote control. The TVRCS is also compatible with any brand name television set, thus there is no worry about replacing or not using the TVRCS if the television set is replaced.
