Toshiba chose the CEATEC electronics show in Japan this week to demonstrate the capabilities of a notebook supercharged with the new “SpursEngine” processor.

The ability to do so allowed a Toshiba laptop user to control the computer’s DVD player using hand motions rather than buttons or keystrokes.
