CAN'T TOUCH THIS

by Pierre Baltadano



Below are some vids of a concept for luxury electronics company Bang & Olufsen. It's a remote control that was designed by student Joris Van Gelder and it was centered around the idea of creating a remote for use in kitchens, where minimal touching is ideal to prevent the spread of bacteria. As you'll see in the vids, the remote responds to finger gestures as well as the rising and falling of the balanced remote to control features such as channel changes and volume control. The great thing about this concept is that the student pushed it further by actually creating a working mockup/prototype, making the possibility of owning one that much closer. Yess. Now can someone spot me a couple k's so I can buy this once it comes out? Thanks.
