Using Your Tablet As A Remote Control - Sony Xperia Tablet S Help Manual

Using Your Tablet as a Remote Control

You can switch between two types of remote controls on the remote control screen.
"Full" remote control
You can operate the remote control function by tapping buttons, just like with an ordinary IR remote control.
"Gesture" remote control
This gives a new feel to remote control operations. The remote control function reacts when the tablet senses
movement of your fingers such as tapping and flicking on the touch screen, no matter where on the screen
you touch. That way, you can operate the remote control instinctively, without looking at the screen of your
tablet.
