Murata wants to take couch potatoes by the hand and do the remote control twist

Murata wants to take couch potatoes by the hand and do the remote control twist

We've seen Murata's marketing future and it involves either Chubby Checker, or that '90s Helen Hunt movie. The Japanese electronics maker's cooked up a flexible sensor device that'll let you twist and bend your way to remote television control. Dubbed the Leaf Grip Remote Controller, the prototype UI design makes use of a special pyroelectric effect-free piezoelectric film that translates twisting into channel changing, rapid twisting to swap video inputs, bending for volume control and rapid bending to power the set on / off.
