About Capsule TV Remote for OTT Platforms
Capsule is a television remote control designed for streaming platforms. The layout reduces cognitive load by dividing the buttons into two sets. One set holds the functions used before starting a title, and the other holds the functions used after starting a title. Typing remains the preferred input method for streaming services on television. When an on-screen keyboard appears, Capsule can be held horizontally and the button configuration changes. Two sets of navigation buttons then control two separate cursors. A microphone for voice command is also included.

- Unique Properties
- Capsule significantly decreases the cognitive load while using the remote. Buttons are divided into two sets according to their usage. One set for functions that are used before starting a title and the other, after starting a title.
While voice command is a technology that is developing, typing still remains the preferred input method for OTT on TV. A user centric approach was taken and the experience of typing was improved upon. When an On-Screen keyboard appears, the Capsule remote can be held horizontally and the configuration of the buttons will change. Just as the user would type with one set of navigational buttons, the user can now type with two sets of navigational buttons, each with its own cursor.
For future innovation, voice command and mic are also included. - Tags

- Inspiration
- The objective with Capsule was to reimagine the TV remote focussed on streaming. The task was to make the remote as simple as possible by stripping down the cognitive burdens that come with the current designs and layouts.
A user centric approach was taken while designing the Capsule. The remote is as thick as it needs to be to perfectly fit any hand. It focuses on improving typing, which remains the most popular input method for OTT, while also including voice command and a touch pad for further development.
