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

They also considered colored backlighting, optional customization, and lighting for use in the dark. The interface concept aimed to make the remote distinctive and technologically innovative without making it too complicated to use.
