Obvious problems

Too many buttons and difficult to understand meanings

Easily lost

Real problems

Controllers should pointo to machines that is not related to what users want

Not intuitive at all

Right approach

Do whatever you want without thinking about devices

Watch movies on the wall of a house

Listen to music in the bath or in the kitchen

Users don't worry about what device they use
