hi I'm David Katz my from CNN I'm at CES 2013 this is the LG booth and I'm here with one of the LG's new features for their highest end TVs this is called finger gesture LG is calling this a new way to control the TVs via gesture a little bit more precise than using your hands they say there's a little camera on the top of the TV when I hold up my finger I can actually point using a little bit more precise action now I tried it out this demo isn't quite as precise as I'd like to see in fact my arm got pretty tired trying to wave around and figure out how it works LG says that they will improve the technology when the TV comes to market is going to be on the la 8600 TV in the US and hire models elsewhere going into the system you can see I can play with the games here I can make menu selections and I can do a bunch of other things the way it's activated is you just hold up your finger make a little clicking motion and then kind of wave it around the screen so very basic of course if you misplace your remote control it might be a little handy the motion remote that LG includes is a lot more precise than this finger thing but again it's a pretty novel way to control your television I'm David Katz Meyer here with LG's finger gesture feature CES 2013
