Capsule: Redefining the TV Remote for OTT Platforms

Streamlined Design for Enhanced User Experience

The traditional TV remote has long been a staple in our living rooms, but with the rise of over-the-top (OTT) platforms, it was time for a redesign. Enter Capsule, a revolutionary TV remote designed by Shivang Vaishnav, that takes a user-centric approach to enhance the streaming experience.

Capsule's design philosophy centers around simplicity and ease of use. By stripping down the cognitive burdens that come with current remote layouts, Capsule offers a streamlined and intuitive interface for navigating through OTT platforms.

One of the key features of Capsule is its focus on improving typing, which remains the most popular input method for OTT platforms on TV. The remote is designed to be as thick as it needs to be to perfectly fit any hand, ensuring comfort during prolonged use. When an on-screen keyboard appears, the configuration of the buttons changes, allowing users to type with two sets of navigational buttons, each with its own cursor. This innovative design significantly improves the typing experience, making it faster and more efficient.

In addition to the enhanced typing experience, Capsule also includes voice command and a touchpad for further development. While voice command technology is still evolving, typing remains the preferred input method for many users. By incorporating both options, Capsule offers versatility and caters to individual preferences.

Capsule's unique button layout sets it apart from other TV remotes. Buttons are divided into two sets based on their usage, with one set dedicated to functions used before starting a title and the other set for functions used after starting a title. This intuitive organization ensures that users can easily navigate through different stages of their streaming experience without confusion or frustration.

Recognizing its innovative design and contribution to the field of digital and electronic devices, Capsule was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2021. This award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Capsule's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a standout product in the market.

With its user-centric design, improved typing experience, and intuitive button layout, Capsule sets a new standard for TV remotes in the era of OTT platforms. It offers a seamless and enjoyable streaming experience, empowering users to effortlessly navigate through their favorite content with ease.
