Echo
Sliding is an air conditioner remote control designed for blind people. A braille display shows the current set temperature. A sliding button allows quick temperature changes, while an arrow shaped button allows precise adjustment. Mode and airflow buttons are placed on both sides of a large button, and a voice system announces each selection. A voice control button on the side allows the air conditioner to be operated by spoken commands. A magnetic panel charges the remote control and holds it in a fixed place, reducing the use of disposable batteries.
