# Voice-Controlled Touchscreen TVs Guilherme M. Schasiepen's Envisions the Apple iTV By Michael Hines | Published 2011-11-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-apple-itv References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2011/10/31/apple-itv-television-concept/) & [9to5mac](http://9to5mac.com/2011/10/31/itv-gets-mocked-up/) Artist Guilherme M. Schasiepen has sent the tech world into a tizzy with his conceptual renderings of the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-icar-concept) [iTV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-ad-service). The artist's images come in response to the rumors that Apple is developing an HDTV amid quotes from the Steve Jobs biography on the topic. The Apple iTV designed by Schasiepen looks very similar to the [iMac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskpod) and features Siri voice control, apps, glasses-free 3D and a touchscreen. While nearly all of these technologies are incorporated into current Apple products, combining them all into one super TV might prove to be difficult. Regardless, Schasiepen's Apple iTV certainly is a sweet design. Here's hoping that these images fan the flames around the Apple office for the company to expand into the HDTV market. I would kill for a TV that could change its channel via voice control. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Voice-controlled Tvs:** Opportunity to disrupt the television industry by incorporating voice control technology into TVs, creating a more intuitive and user-friendly viewing experience. - **Touchscreen Tvs:** Opportunity to disrupt the television industry by integrating touchscreen technology into TVs, allowing for interactive and personalized content consumption. - **Glasses-free 3D Tvs:** Opportunity to disrupt the television industry by developing glasses-free 3D technology for TVs, enhancing the immersive viewing experience without the need for cumbersome glasses. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to innovate by incorporating voice control and touchscreen technology into their TVs, offering a competitive edge in the market. - **Home Entertainment:** Opportunity for home entertainment industry to revolutionize the TV viewing experience by introducing voice-controlled and touchscreen TVs, enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. - **Technology:** Opportunity for technology companies to lead the way in developing glasses-free 3D technology for TVs, opening up new possibilities for immersive entertainment experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Immersive Virtual Television Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-of-tv.md) - [Intuitive Touchscreen Remote Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touchsense-remote.md) - [Sculpted Tech Brand Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-icar-concept.md) - [High-End Mobile Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-handheld-game-console.md) - [Tech Brand Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-ava-concept.md) - [Patent-Inspired Tech Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-car-concept.md) - [Connected Touchscreen TV Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcl-telly-table.md) - [Dual-Display Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-vision.md) - [Canvas-Like TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-objet-tv.md)
