Cinema Remote Stability Improvements 🤝
Josh and AVA have worked together to roll out key updates to enhance the Cinema Remote’s dynamic keypad. Recent collaboration has led to stability fixes that resolve a rare issue with screen orientation flipping. AVA also improved touch accuracy after discovering that occasional misclicks were due to the ergonomics of how some users gripped the remote. By expanding the touch target zones around the keypad’s three dimensional glass, the remote now responds more reliably no matter how it is held.
