Strange Gel Remote Concept by Panasonic

@ 2009/06/13
This may be the strangest remote control we’ve ever seen. With the push of a button, this remote becomes rigid and ready for use.

Left undisturbed, the remote will go limp and slumber peacefully. But should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid – the light from within is extinguished.

Of course there is another application that will could be economically viable.
