Ruwido is debuting a new ‘leaf’ remote control that introduces a new approach to design and development known as ‘thinsizing’.
All of the components within the remote control are reduced to an absolute minimum, while bandwidth is maximised by implementing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for data transmission.
Ferdinand Maier, CEO, Ruwido, says: “Many interaction mechanisms have been tried, but nothing has turned out to be completely suitable on its own for TV navigation in everyday life. It is imperative that we continue to identify the interaction mechanisms which have already been proven to work, while adapting and enhancing them to meet the evolving needs of today´s TV landscape.”
The leaf measures just 2.7mm in width with a silhouette thinner than a coin cell. It’s manufactured using high quality aluminium and carbon. The anodized remote control has an in-built keypad, and features integrated speech transmission to allow searching for known content in what the manufacturer describes as a ‘more natural way’.
