Gyration Air-Mouse Remote with Motion-Sensing Technology Now Available for Microsoft(R) Windows Vista(TM) Media Center.

New Universal Remote Is the Only Microsoft-Approved Media Center Remote with Mouse Control

LAS VEGAS -- Gyration, Inc., the motion-sensing controller industry leader, today announced the availability of the Vista Media Center and PC Universal Remote Control. The Media Center Remote (MCR) -- the only Microsoft-approved Media Center remote with mouse control -- allows consumers to navigate the Internet with a PC cursor as part of their HDTV home entertainment experience, including music, video, photos and Web surfing, all with one universal remote.

The Gyration product closes the gap left by conventional remote controls with the Motion by Gyration[TM] intuitive, motion-sensing gyro technology. The user simply waves the remote in the air and the on-screen cursor will track the hand motion just like a desktop mouse. With a range of up to 100 feet, digiphiles can use the device from the comfort of the sofa, or while roaming around the house. The mice also alleviates the need for separate remote controls for the TV, DVD player, cable box and stereo, or a regular PC mouse to control the Vista Media Center -- Gyration's MCR controls it all.

"A traditional mouse is fine for simple desktop computer functions like writing a letter, but when using a media center in the living room, the average person doesn't want to have to be tied down by wires and the need to find a flat surface for the mouse," said Greg Smith, vice president of marketing at Gyration. "We understand people have a natural spatial awareness, so we designed the Media Center Remote to detect simple pointing motion, acting as a handheld pointing and clicking device so people can use natural hand movements to control their entertainment."

Gyration's MCR functions via radio frequency (RF) for the PC, as well as Infrared (IR) for traditional audio/video (A/V) components. With today's converged Web technologies, the MCR also allows full in-air mouse control to surf the Web, access streaming media sites such as YouTube[R], AOL Music[R] or Google Video[R], or to view online photos and video.

The Motion by Gyration[TM] technology works with Microsoft's Media Center Edition for both Windows Vista and Windows XP[TM]. Gyration's remotes are easy to master and use, even for the non-technical consumer, and will not break the family budget.

Retailing at an MSRP of $149.95, Gyration's Media Center Remote can also be purchased as a bundle with a wireless portable keyboard that also has a operational range of 100 feet, for $199.95. The MCR products will be available at CompUSA, Circuit City and other major consumer electronics retailers and online at www.gyration.com by March, 2007.
