Change stations from an elegant chrome sphere placed on your couch table, control your DVD player via a device that is quite similar to today�s business phones, or switch your PVR with a PDA-like gadget. Or wouldn�t a keychain remote control for your receiver be pretty cool?

Prototypes features elegant near-photorealistic graphics, dynamic transitions, help screens for every device and intuitive navigation. If you don�t own a TSU9600 to test this on, please don�t only watch the graphics on the simulator, but take a peek at the full resolution graphics.

I hope you like this design � any feedback would be gladly appreciated!

• Designed for visual interest as well as visual simplicity and consistency.

• Designed for a minimal amount of screen changes when in use (e.g. network channels as punch throughs, cable channels and redirection to transport buttons all appear on the same screen; the page up and down button has been converted to cable channel up and down to facilitate these �multi-use screens�).

• Whilst the device is designed for US users in the first instance, baseplate masters (each with national flag and corresponding local networks) have been created for 25 other countries and can be used to change over the system page elements and network punch-throughs - Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. Each element on the alternative masters is readily movable/removable.
