Start / Off the Air Condition

When users want turn on the air condition, tap the power button to start the air condition.

Users can turn off the air condition by tapping the power button again.

When users turn on the air condition, the power button backlight LED will auto turn on and got beep sound. So users can get the feedback from power button itself.

Users can directly drag the cover up or down to adjust air condition temperature up or down. So even in dark environments, users still can adjust temperature quickly and easily.

When users drag the cover up or down, they can hear the beep sound from the remote controller.

The default temperature setting is 24 degree.

About this DesignAffordance. My design is according to this basic design theory.

The power and temperature adjustment are the most important functions in air condition remote controller. So I need them to be the quite obvious function on the remote controller.In standard mode (covered) the only one button is “Power” key. So any user can turn on/off the air condition in any environment. The slidable cover can adjust temperature by following user’s instincts.
