While this is great design in isolation from the rest of the world, it will only add more confusion unless it is ubiquitous.
Currently you just have to look for labels like + and - in the battery slot, and with such devices there may be no such labels at all, or instead some text that says "put batteries any way you want", or, even worse, some cryptic graphic that attempts to say it. More processing power required != good.

- ComputerGuru 16y agoMy point is, go ahead and put in the current +/- sign. On the box, packaging, site, manual, whatever you can talk about how it'll actually work in any way. Those that look for the +/- will find it. Those that misread it or are too thick to understand it will put them in wrong and your device will still work. And those that saw the cool picture on your device's package will play around with it and test different ways then say "waaaaay cool!"
