    A way of turning any object into a remote control has been developed.
    The Matchpoint system, developed by Lancaster University, only needs a webcam and a chosen object.
    Once synchronised, the user can change the volume, channel or access menus.
    It is hoped the tool could also be used by people who are unable to use a keyboard and mouse or a remote control or existing gesture techniques.
