The user interface concept favored a simple remote with a small number of push buttons, speech recognition, and an LCD to display information and feedback. The team contrasted this with complicated remotes that have many buttons and require users to learn their functions.

They also discussed ways to make the remote distinctive and easier to use, including optional colors, lighting for use in the dark, and a locator feature. More advanced ideas included recognizing users by voice, restricting access, and remembering individual viewing and volume preferences.
