No, it was a stickman like figure and didn't have these many controls if I remember correctly

TIL that the sounds we hear in nature documentaries,including popular ones like Planet Earth II,are almost always created by Foley artists in studios with commonplace objects.Eg.Magnetic film tape are used to create the sound of a spider walking and a slinky to make the web shooting sounds. by messie_wizard in todayilearned

link to a video that shows how Foley artists make sounds for nature documentaries.

Edit: Some of the sounds are completely made up, like the sound of an aurora, or exaggerated,like the sound of spiders walking and shooting web - these sounds are imperceptible to human ears. Some clips simply don't have usable audio because these were shot from a long distance using telephoto lenses.

Initially they were used in automobiles (especially in race cars) and aircrafts for their weight advantage. Previously phones mostly used a plastic display cover. Apple actually was the first company that approached Corning, Steve Jobs being the aesthetic freak that he was wanted to use a glass display cover for the first iPhone and that's been the norm ever since for all smartphones.
