Capsule
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.
