Abstract


Digital television (DTV) is poised to a highly popular means of entertainment and information. However, physically disabled users may have serious problems to perform simple tasks like switching channels and controlling the viewing experience. This article describes an approach that replaces the conventional remote control a device that allows to interact with the TV by capturing brain signals and following head movements with a gyroscope. An already running prototype is also presented.
