  • Hillcrest Sees More Movement from TV, Game Companies

    "Hillcrest, a maker of a Nintendo Wii-like remote control for navigating Internet content on televisions, has revealed that it designed the technology behind a motion-sensing remote control for new high-end televisions made by LG Electronics, the Korean consumer electronics maker. Hillcrest also says it has licensed its patents on motion control technology to Sony's videogame division.
