Abstract :
A remote control is presented that enables finger disabled people to easily control various types of devices and appliances. It uses an Android smartphone, a Bluetooth/infrared conversion unit, and user gestures. Experimental evaluation demonstrated that it is easily usable by non-disabled people, except for the electronic program guide function.
