The company that created the iPhone interface has just made another impressive user-friendly device, this time for your home called the “Virtual Control User Interface.” The new unit is designed for total home automation, so it plays nice with your lighting, heat, cooling units, shades, fans and just about anything else electronic you can point it at. It uses the same “swipe” controls as the iPod Touch so you can use gestures to move from room to room. The display actually shows 360-degree pictures of your rooms that you can navigate by touching. They will even take and upload the pictures for you in case you’re not so photographically inclined.
