He said the good of Arthur C. Clarke any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This morning we attended the presentation of the Kymera Wand, a device which, although perfectly understandable for those Tech News Buzz frecuentais, it might be considered something of witches among the 'Muggles' technology.
Said very briefly, the Kymera Wand is a universal remote control shaped wand to Harry Potter style. As well instrument wizard, Kymera used to run up to 13 different spells on any compatible device with an infrared remote control. The technical basis for Kymera Wand is very simple. There are no physical buttons whatsoever.
Instead, the hidden wand various sensors that detect up to 13 separate movements: short shift to the right, left, up and down, rotating the wand from right to left, tap with your finger on the top of the handle and on the side, double tap the same points, moving forward and backward, and something called whiplash, which is equivalent to wield the wand in a downward arc.
There are combinations of movements, only those 13 and each serves to manage a single device function control. Like any self-respecting universal remote control, the Kymera Wand needs to be scheduled. For this task must have your original remote device. The wand does not have screens or sounds, its only means of interaction are intermittent vibrations that indicate their progress.
To program, you first have to hold it pointing up and tap it with your finger in the central carved. Then execute the movement that most suits us, and press the remote button you want to turn this trend pointing to the wand. If we follow the steps correctly, the wand is programmed in the same frequency as the control and movement associated with the button.
The whole process is illustrated by shorter or longer vibrations. At first the task of programming the Kymera Wand is a bit tedious but once completed, becomes a fun toy control, although no substitute for a traditional farmhouse to a command, will delight the small home. Furthermore, having no moving parts and be made in one piece of plastic is perfect to play the wise men with the TV, hi-fi, Blu-Ray or an iPod dock.
The wand can be programmed with 13 functions, one for each movement. These thirteen commands need not all belong to the same device. We can set the rotation to left and right stereo volume, moves from right to left to change channels on the TV, and back and forth to open and close the tray Blu-Ray.
The Kymera Wand comes in a beautiful box decorated with artificial leather and coated inside with a cloth pad printing. The device is powered by two AAA batteries that are changed by the bottom and last like a traditional controller. This esoteric remote control is now available online and in selected stores at a price of 60 euros.
There is a simpler version of the Kymera Wand, lighter in color, used only for a function, flashing LED light a candle that is artificial in the same box. The operation of this version is much easier. The whiplash motion light the candle, gently shake the wand moves the flame, and move from left to right and off.
You can also blow the candle off directly. The candle is powered by two AAA batteries. To avoid draining overnight, the magic light of this candle automatically turns off in 60 minutes if not more appropriate. Although much simpler, this version of the wand go crazy for any child who is a fan of Harry Potter and can be a fun gift for use as a lamp for the bedside table.
As we have heard in the presentation, the wand is capable of on and off simultaneously several candles without additional configuration. Unfortunately, the candles are sold separately, which has shattered the idea of filling a room with candles and assemble the final show of magic. The wand and sail package is also now available for 30 euros.
