This past year, we brought you stories on everything from tweeting toddler toys and streamlined ATMs to news-reading apps and remote controls that magically change channels with a wave of the hand. Though wildly different from one another, these projects share a common denominator: They all display intriguing user-interface innovations. User interfaces, when done well, are the unsung hero of product design. They're the difference between a printer whose buttons you can figure out without even reading the instructions and one you want to throw across the room. Now, with the rise of personal computing, interfaces are more relevant than ever before, providing the crucial link between physical objects and the virtual world. Above, we've collected some of the year's cleverest, clearest, and most creative UIs.

The Gesture Remote is the coolest TV remote control you never knew you wanted. Channel surf, adjust volume, putter around on Facebook -- all without ever pressing a button. It's the perfect thing to lose in your couch cushions. The remote was designed by Lunar Europe, Ident Technology AG , and zinosign , and though it looks like a cross between a touchpad mouse and a touchscreen phone, it acts more like a motion sensor.Television (TV) is a telecommunication medium for transmitting and receiving moving images that can be monochrome (black-and-white) or colored, with or without accompanying sound. "Television" may also refer specifically to a television set, television programming, or television transmission. The etymology of the word has a mixed Latin and Greek origin, meaning "far sight": Greek tele (τῆλε), far, and Latin visio, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person). Commercially available since the late 1920s, the television set has become commonplace in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a vehicle for advertising, a source of entertainment, and news. Since the 1970s the availability of video cassettes, laserdiscs, DVDs and now Blu-ray Discs, have resulted in the television set frequently being used for viewing recorded as well as broadcast material.

Did you see Black Mirror on Channel 4 recently? It's a bleak and paranoid set of 3 parables of a future with unintended consquences. Created by Charlie Brooker, all three are available to watch now on 4OD . Thanks to the Telegraph for this gem from a senior TV exec talking about another six month delay to the launch of Youview, the £35m JV between BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel Five, TalkTalk, BT and Arquiva: "It just doesn't work when you turn it on and keeps crashing. "You would think that after at least 18 months of development and at least six million pounds worth of investment from each shareholder, the box would actually work when being shown to its owners."
