The conceptual 'Envision Remote' is a device for those with visual impairments to help keep them supported when spending time watching TV or streamed content each day. Designed by Sophia Ipy, the remote control pays attention to the tactile experience of the user to allow for intuitive use that doesn't require them to make assumptions about which button corresponds to what feature.
The remote control features buttons grouped into specific sections, which will enable users to easily find what they're looking for when changing the channel, volume or between different apps.
The conceptual 'Envision Remote' also integrates voice control functionality which will enable users to simply speak their commands to further enhance the intuitive design of the tech accessory.
