Exploring a different way to interact with your smart TV using novel haptic tech

As smart TVs get more advanced, remotes have lagged behind, becoming a constraint for TV platform designers, streaming content developers, and users. Meanwhile, modern smart TV interfaces are increasingly designed like complex web/mobile apps, and the average consumer has grown accustomed to touch navigation.

With these insights, we re-imagined the remote with our solution, ‘morph’. morph mirrors the clickable parts of your TV’s interface using novel haptic technology provided by our partner, Fluid Reality, creating a dynamic, tactile surface that acts as your TV remote, unlocking new possibilities for both entertainment creators and consumers.
