This document proposes a redesign of an air conditioner remote controller. It includes mockups of the redesigned remote and descriptions of its key functions and user stories. The remote would have the following features: 1. A power button that lights up for feedback when pressed to easily start/stop the air conditioner in any environment. 2. A slidable temperature adjustment cover that can be dragged up and down to increase or decrease the set temperature without looking at the remote. 3. Opening the cover reveals additional function buttons for settings like air speed, sleep mode, and resetting filters, with feedback provided for each button press.

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. 14年7⽉月30⽇日星期三

- 13. About this Design Affordance. 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. 14年7⽉月30⽇日星期三
