The “consistent design aura” concept is based on a minimalist design of the remote control and the set-top box. The upright position and the clear cut design of the set-top box create a light, innovative appearance that is joy to use and joy to own. The monolithic body of the input device incorporates tilt-dependent functionality and minimizes the required number of buttons. Integrated into a new interaction concept, it enhances the synchronization of mind and sense. Digital pushing of buttons is replaced by an analogue sliding mechanism, delivered via appreciable haptic force progression.
