one-button remote control

VCR-TV-DVD:

1. the bounce, 0.0-0.2 sec. - a quick precise touch to stop (and restart) or slow the VCR toward PLAY and LOOK modes
2. the depress, 0.2-0.6 sec. - a more considered touch to speed-up (and change direction of) the VCR to SCAN and BACK modes
3. the press or pounce, 0.6 sec. min. - a hold-down to reset, clear, sweep, skip processes (and change direction of) the VCR to SKIP and WIND modes

   And levels of touch:

4. light-press - to actuate sound, electronic adjustments
5. deep-press - to actuate video, mechanical adjustments

PLAY - when playing forward
1. deep-bounce - stops, pauses to LOOK
2. deep-depress - speeds-up to SCAN
3. deep-press - fast-forward spins-up to SKIP
4. light - REF volume control

LOOK - when stopped, paused
1. deep-bounce - starts forward to PLAY
2. deep-depress - starts speed-up to SCAN
3. deep-press - fast-forward spins-up to SKIP
4. light - REF mode control

SCAN - when fast-playing, speeding forward
1. deep-bounce - slows-down to PLAY
2. deep-depress - halts and re-speeds-up to [scan] BACK
3. deep-press - fast-forward spins-up to SKIP
4. light - REF volume if sound exists, else mode control

BACK - when fast-reverse-playing, speeding backward
1. deep-bounce - stops, pauses to LOOK
2. deep-depress - halts and re-speeds-up forward to SCAN
3. deep-press - fast-forward spins-up to SKIP
4. light - REF volume if sound exists, else mode control

SKIP - when fast-forwarding
1. deep-bounce - slows-down to speed-forward SCAN
2. deep-depress - halts and re-speeds-up to [scan] BACK
3. deep-press - halts and fast-rewind spins-up to WIND
4. light - REF mode control

WIND - when fast-rewinding
1. deep-bounce - slows-down to speed-reverse [scan] BACK
2. deep-depress - halts and re-speeds-up forward to SCAN
3. deep-press - halts and fast-forward spins-up to SKIP
4. light - REF mode control

A SKIP to end should there STOP.
A WIND to home should there auto-EJECT after 5 sec.
A LOOK, after 5 sec., should auto-STOP.

STOP - when already stopped
1. deep-bounce - restores it to LOOK
2. deep-depress - switches to auto-cycle SCAN modes [see below]
3. deep-press - switches to auto-cycle MODE selection [see below]
4. light - REF mode control

The flow-structure for volume control uses the light-touch alone for:

LOUD - when playing at a certain volume
1. light-bounce - drops volume to MUTE
2. light-depress - diminishes to half-volume
3. light-press - increases volume more
4. deep - REF play controls

MUTE - when quieted from a certain volume
1. light-bounce - restores volume to LOUD
2. light-depress - increases to half-volume
3. light-press - increases volume more
4. deep - REF play controls

PLAY - when playing the TV alone
1. deep-bounce - switches to LOOK
2. deep-depress - switches to SCAN modes
3. deep-press - switches to MODE selection
4. light - REF volume controls

LOOK - when quieted
1. deep-bounce - switches to PLAY
2. deep-depress - switches to SCAN modes
3. deep-press - switches to MODE selection
4. light - REF mode controls

SCAN - when auto-cycling through channels
1. deep-bounce - switches to PLAY channel
2. deep-depress - switches to [scan] BACK modes
3. deep-press - switches to MODE selection
4. light - REF (tbd: eg. volume with scan)

BACK - when auto-cycling through channels
1. deep-bounce - switches to PLAY channel [alt/to MUTE]
2. deep-depress - switches to [forward] SCAN modes
3. deep-press - switches to MODE selection
4. light - REF (tbd: eg. volume with scan-back)

MODE - when [auto-cycling] selecting modes
1. deep-bounce - switches to [forward] SCAN modes
2. deep-depress - switches to next MODE
3. deep-press - switches to OFF
4. light - REF (tbd: eg. audible assistance with mode)

PC Click-stick:

The Clickstick actuates, freezes, expands, enters, grabs, eg.
• tap on the background, steadies the cosmic frame;
• tap on an orbit, rescales orbit-speed to teach-time;
• tap on the hotel, gives an hotel-centric view;
• hold, expands, slows its spin;
• click a window, enters;
• a sign, jumps;
• a rim drags-turns;
• tap the space-elevator, actuates its car-course-cycle, recondensing to show it relative to its base orbiting Earth;…
