Abstract
Busy lifestyles rarely slow down, even while watching television.
Some constantly flip through channels, use mobile devices, catch up on email
and lose the TV remote.
Keiko introduces a different atmosphere: a relaxed and simple way to watch television. Inspired by the peaceful navigation of whales as they move through the depths of the ocean, Keiko offers a new experience that allows surfing through channels with a subtle touch. Just like the glow of the television, Keiko radiates its own soothing light when the room is getting dark. It responds with the song of a humpback whale when you want to know where it is.
