The team favored a simple interface with a small number of push buttons, speech recognition, and a non-touch LCD to display information and explain the buttons’ current functions. They discussed using voice recognition to locate the remote, restrict access, or personalize settings, though the cost and complexity of recognizing multiple users remained concerns.

They also considered ways to make the remote distinctive, including colored lighting or cases and glow-in-the-dark features. The team planned to explore both a titanium design and a softer, fruit-inspired design in the prototype.
