The team favored a simple interface with a small number of push buttons and an LCD to show information, menus, and the buttons’ current functions. They also discussed speech recognition as a distinctive feature, potentially allowing users to locate the remote, restrict access, or recall personal preferences, though cost and support for multiple speakers remained concerns.

For appearance, they discussed color options, lighting for use in the dark, and a fruit- or vegetable-inspired look. The team planned to explore both a titanium design and a softer, spongy design before choosing between them.
