First Intel, now Movea. Seems to be an idea whose time has come.

Movea, ST team on SoC for motion-aware TV

PORTLAND, Ore. - STMicroelectronics has partnered with Movea to add
motion-awareness to ST's Orly set-top box system-on-chip. Integrating Movea's
SmartMotion Server into Orly will permit designers to add motion awareness into
set-top boxes and enable users to control their TVs using gestures. The melding
should increase the utility of video-on-demand (VoD) and online gaming services.
"Our collaboration with Movea will enable set-top boxes based on ST's
system-on-chips to deliver high-value applications and services," said Andre
Bertrand, technical and strategic marketing director at ST. "Consumers
increasing desire for more natural user interfaces is propelling these
motion-sensing technologies."
Movea's SmartMotion Server can be seen integrated together in the Orly set-top
box in ST's booth at the China Content Broadcasting Network Exhibition (CCBN,
Beijing, March 21-23, 2013).
Movea's SmartMotion Server provides gesture-recognition capabilities for web
surfing, VoD cataloging, social media navigation, gaming and media-center
management. Using point-and-click navigation, instead of directional
push-buttons, allows set-top box subscribers to scroll, swipe and select more
naturally. Gaming is also enhanced by allowing the user to harness MEMS sensors
in the remote to control on-screen action in a manner similar to gaming
consoles.
