An HTPC (Home Theater PC) is meant for you to get relaxed and watch the media on it. You’ll need to treat a HTPC like a traditional home theater system, which you’ll normally sit down on a couch, relaxed and enjoy the show.
But you may face some difficulty to navigate or control the media on a HTPC. Perhaps you could use a wireless keyboard for the control, but it will be pretty awkward to use and some more the keyboard simply takes up space.
The GlideTV Navigator, is mouse specially designed to solve the problem, allows the user to control the HTPC with ease from the couch. The device is actually a combination of a mouse, an AV remote control and a wireless keyboard, but it comes in palm-sized. It can be used as a mouse and with a couple of backlit buttons for various controls.
The GlideTV Navigator also works with various popular media applications including Windows Media Center, Boxee, Apple Front Row, Apple iTunes, SageTV, Firefox, and any web browser.
