Description of the Device

Using Anymote or other devices it is easy to control a television from a smartphone or tablet. Apps like the Anymote app, or even some free remote apps online can be used to provide control without having to hold or use a traditional remote control.

Use of the Device

Users of eye tracking, head tracking, or other adapted systems an gain independence and control over their environment with remote apps on the iPad or smartphone. A Smartphone with an Infra Red emitter works best for this, as it will be able to send signals to the TV directly. Samsung phones usually have this option, whereas iPhone users will need additional equipment or apps to control, like Anymote.

Temporary or Permanent

Does not involve renovations to the home. Temporary or permanent device depending on user.

Cost

The cost of your tablet or smartphone will depend on vendor make and model. The Anymote app is FREE, but the Anymote Infra Red Blaster ranges from $80-$120

Support Needs (caregiver)

Requires  setup, online tutorials exist, and device comes with directions. Very simple.
