Remember Gyration's range of 'air mice'? They didn't do too well in the UK and the company seems to have adopted an almost shameful silence over the last couple of years.
With no mention towards its previous foray in this area it seems to be trying again, and in the hope that we forgot why we didn't buy them a few years ago has released a new Air Mouse device to the UK market.
In case you don't know, Gyration devices typically adopted a Wii-style system by using in-air motion tracking to control a mouse cursor on screen.
They're designed primarily for business professionals to help them conduct presentations from afar but have a reasonable claim for offering a bit more control in the home media market, much like yesterday's rather more straightforward remote control.
However with Gyration's device you can use flicks of the wrist to invoke certain commands and it uses RF technology which means it'll work up to 100 feet away and through walls (why do we need to know that?).
The Air Mouse with Motionsense is available from October for a recommended retail price of £69.99, and you can find out more from the link below.
