kitchen remote concept for B&O

This is a concept of a TV remote for active people. It is designed for the most dynamic place in the home; the kitchen. You don't pick up the remote to control it. In fact, the operation is so simple you don't even have to look at it.
Even more than simplicity this remote is about wonder and surprise. The second you turn on the TV the remote lifts itself up, as though it unaffected by the laws of gravity. The remote can balance at every angle between 40 and 0 degrees.
his property is both the key to its elegance as well as its functionality. Changing the volume is done simply by changing the tilt angle of the remote. Changing the channels is done by moving your finger through the cavity in the remote.

It should definitely be able to open bottles too

I think it represents such a deep mix between design, new technologies and poetry.

An interesting idea: synthesis among design,art, hi-tech.

A real ZEN project.

Good looks but really stupid, how do i switch to an specific channel? Do I have to swap through 45 channels just to reach the one I want?

yea but this prolly cost like 100 remote control put together.. so what the point ? you can just buy a new remote control if ones is dirty. but still very cool concept, why didn't they skip this and move to TV that can recognize voice command, like sum of the voice system already available out there? "TV on" or "TV turn volume 32", is way more effective than this

It's a study of what functions you need in the kitchen. Obviously you would have a "standard" remote in some other room, if you absolutely needs to change color and contrast... Btw, new B&O tv's controls what is being shown and adjust it to what should be shown...

What about the problems of this remote:

1)Accidentally knocking it either way will make the volume go to mute or to maximum...

2)Going from chanel 1 to eg.18 - not easy!

3)Advanced functions?Tuning,contrast,colo­r etc.

This is perfect for the kitchen. Imagine eating a nandos chicken with your hands and changing the channels without making your remote dirty! LMAO
