Ruwido to showcase leaf thin remote

Austria-based remote control specialist Ruwido will use IBC to debut its ultra-thin ‘leaf’ remote control.

According to Ruwido, the device reduced the technology components of a remote to the minimum in size and maximizes bandwidth by implementing Bluetooth Low Energy for data transmission.

The remote measures 2.7mm in width and is manufactured using aluminium and carbon. The anodized remote control has an in-built keypad, and features integrated speech transmission.

“Many interaction mechanisms have been tried, but nothing has turned out to be completely suitable on its own for TV navigation in everyday life. It is imperative that we continue to identify the interaction mechanisms which have already been proven to work, while adapting and enhancing them to meet the evolving needs of today´s TV landscape,” said Ferdinand Maier, CEO of Ruwido.

Ruwido will be exhibiting at IBC on stand 1.F68
