Building an effective and engaging user interface for TV devices requires a firm understanding of what works well
|
|
in the context of a living room. Imagine a large screen that can be seen by many people at the
|
|
same time, controlled with a few buttons by users with limited attention, and you start to see the
|
|
challenges and opportunities of building an app for TV. Building apps for this environment
|
|
requires a different approach and different tools.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This section discusses how to build a living room experience with your app, including
|
|
implementation instructions and creating user interface widgets built for TV. Also check out
|
|

|
