I noticed that my friend's TV remote has a different design for the battery slot. I was surprised that it was different than a traditional TV remote. At first I could not open the slot for the batteries, so I gave up and asked my friend how he usually opens it. Even he struggled to open it because he never had to change the batteries. Finally, he opened it and the batteries came out flying after applying so much force. Inside, the batteries fit in similar to shotgun bullets.

Although, this TV remote design has good mapping of how to open the battery slot it fails our conceptual model of a TV remote. The remote does not provide a coherent system image of how a TV remote battery slot should look like. The TV remote also fails two constraints; semantic and cultural constraints. No one who has ever seen this design can be sure what it does and knowing the amount of force it needs to open.

A solution can be redesigning the TV remote battery slot to look more like a traditional TV remote and easier for consumers to use without applying so much force. That is, so the TV remote will no longer look like if you are putting bullets in and allowing the slot to slide up. This will allow the consumerism to know right away how to open the slot and easily be able to by sliding it with a little amount of force.
