Abstract

This paper deals with a motion-based remote control system to improve the menu control of IPTV. A 6-DOF motion sensor and hybrid vibrators are embedded into the device. With wrist motion, a user controls the position of the pointer on the screen intuitively. Haptic feedback is provided in response to the manipulation of a GUI element. From the usability test, we observed that the motion sensing and haptic feedback improve the speed of the menu control and decrease the manipulation load. Particularly, a remote controller adopting a combination of gyroscope-based motion sensing and impact feedback showed the best performance.
