iPhone as remote control

By plugging a small adapter in the iPhone's headphone plug and installing the application UIRemote an infrared signal is sent which can control any device in the house.

Future Vision by Erwin Van Lun on this article

Remote controls will disappear. This is the first stop. After that, screens will become interactive: we can make choices on our cell phone to operate, for example, the tv. But it’ll become even more interesting around that time: the tv’s content will be transmitting signals too. We can choose our own programs and, more importantly, the programs react to what we do. This makes tv truly interactive, outside the stations’ involvement.
