Second introduction of new concept remote control units

We are pleased to make this second introduction of development of prototypes of "new concept remote control units" designed based on a vision of remote controls with futuristic design concepts. We are introducing two types of remote control units: "a stationary LCD type" and "an easy to operate egg-shaped type."

These new concept remote controls will submit themselves for provision of opportunities for consideration and materialization of what remote controls should be like in the future without being prisoners of the past, as well as having a superior quality human interface.

The "stationary LCD remote control unit" is intended to stay on for example a table, unlike conventional products where one had to hold the remote control unit, aiming it at equipment. We propose this stationary remote control unit comprising a combination of our exclusive RF technology and a new operation sensation via dialing operation.

The "easy to operate egg-shaped remote control unit" operates equipment when held in the hand and shaken. Here, we propose a highly personal egg-shaped remote control unit with RF technology and a sensor put into the egg shape.

The whole pictures of these two remote control units of new concepts will be made public at our SMK Technical Exposition TEXPO 2008 to be held for 3 days from June 4, 2008. We will incorporate the visitors' opinions in the future development of these products.
