Provide a 8 pages analysis while answering the following question: Remote Control for Multimedia Home Entertainment. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The data in the report were collected from secondary sources that included lately published journal and articles. The data collected from the different sources were used to assess the design for building the universal remote and determine the alternative designs. Furthermore, the report uses the linking procedure. Initially, the prototype of the remote was designed, which was tested based on designed criteria. With respect to the analysis of the data, the prototype was retested and redesigned. The report also highlights the constraints such as technical, management and time constraints associated with the development of universal remote control.

Significant attention was laid on the design factor. In this regard, the width, height and length of the new remote control equal to 2.2 inches, 1 inch and 8.5 inches respectively. This universal remote control unit can be used to operate and control TV, amplifier, Blu-ray, satellite or cable box and sound system among others. In addition, the remote can also be used as a game controlling device. One of the major advantages of this report is that it contains a few buttons.

The increasing heterogeneous home entertainment devices reveal that users often prefer ubiquitous access of the application rather than physically moving to the nearest control point. Nevertheless, the evolution of remote can be seen to eliminate this problem of the users to a considerable extent. The development of the remote control for numerous devices undoubtedly saves considerable time and offers flexibility to the users. However, in recent times with the continuous advancement in the technologies, home entertainment has transformed into a multi-media approach. Correspondingly, users are currently more interested in accessing multiple facilities using a single home entertainment system or application.&nbsp.
