“Aah honey, where is the remote?” says Jane as she sweeps her hand over the couch.

“Found it!” she exclaims.

“Nope, sweety that’s not it” says Bob rousing up.

I can see such scenarios happening around all households when this thing is mass marketed. Who comes up with these gadgets ?

Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. Buth should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid – the light from within is extinguished.

Not that the idea of the material isn’t cool, but could it not be used for something other than a remote … like a paper screen that can be rolled up and snuck away for example.
