Many companies produce universal
super-fancy remote controls, with which you can control a lot of home appliances, from TV to projector. The approach is, of course, sound. But there is a better way out. At least according to designer
Brian Garrett Schur . Which made the concept of an extremely simple remote control. With one button.

But the button is quite functional. With it, you can switch channels, adjust the volume, pause playback or turn on the recording, turn on or off the TV.

The fact is that this button moves up and down along the “groove”. When it reaches the desired position, it can be moved to the right or left, thereby performing the desired action.

What is remarkable, this concept is not a design fiction that exists only in sketches and illustrations, but a real working prototype.
