Chicago (IL) - Movea, a company known for motion-sensing technology in products such as its M2000 Travel Air-Mouse, took the wraps today off its new Gyration Air Music Remote which combines "a universal remote control with the functions of a PC mouse." This motion-sensing remote can be yours to twirl around in the air for around $180 standalone, or $230 if you want a wireless keyboard tossed in.

The Gyration Air Music Remote is designed to replace existing TV, cable, A/V and Media Center remotes. The developer says that, with the use of its MotionSense technology, one can make "use of natural hand movements to control the on-screen cursor and all aspects of Windows Media Center software with pinpoint precision." It also offers standard menu navigation, an alphanumeric keypad and shortcut buttons.

This remote, according to Movea, uses radio frequency waves to control interactions with a PC and traditional IR signals to control home theater components. You'll find this remote as well outfitted a backlit LCD panel that displays music selections from Windows Media Player and iTunes as well as control up to 100 feet away.
