The use of mobile and handheld devices is a desirable option for implementation of user interaction with remote services from a distance. Another prominent option to operate a remote application is the use of gestures performed in the air. This paper describes the design and realization of a system to enable mobile devices and gesture recognition tools to have control on a remote movie-player application. A small qualitative user study verified the use of mobile phones, switching between three input modalities, and the opportunity of another three methods of performing gestures in the air.
