There are, however, in addition to the development of the "classical" approach, new concepts for the design of remote controls. Some are now presented here.
An apple as a remote control
According to the study by Jason Roebuck, the remote control could get the shape of apple. The control is done primarily done through motion gestures. A rotating movement should tune the volume of a TV, for example.

In addition, the study design intends that any person in a household has its own remote control, each adapted to individual needs. The matching "fruit bowl" for the apples will also act as a charging station.

A cube as a remote control
A very similar approach was presented early 2007 by Telekom Austria in cooperation with Austria Research Centers. As control element a cube without any keys is used. By turning, tilting or shaking all common control signals are transmitted to a TV. When the cube is placed in the holder, the TV is on standby.

A porcelain bowl as a remote control
The study of Yuta Watanabe doesn’t forego on buttons, but the form and material is novel. With the use of ceramics a high quality and fragile material was chosen deliberately to ad a higher value to the remote control. Beyond that the rounded shape makes the remote control to a subject of decoration.

A bracelet as a remote control
Chloe Fung designed a remote control specifically for women. .She built the control of the so-called Orbit Remote in a bracelet.
