Hillcrest Labs’ HōME^™  Interactive Media System combines the first graphical, zoomable interface for television with a patented motion control technology called Freespace^™. Hillcrest’s award–winning technology provides a single, simple interface that allows digital content from any source to be displayed on a television, and it makes enormous volumes of content easily accessible.

HōME software can be embedded in a broad range of digital media devices, including high definition televisions, set–top boxes, and PCs. It provides a unified environment for sources ranging from television programming to Internet content to consumers’ personal photos, videos and music.

The HōME Interactive Media System includes three primary components:

• Freespace motion control technology senses motion in three dimensions and precisely translates human motions into on–screen cursor movement.

• HōMEframework^™ includes global system functionality, such as Visual Directories^™.  It includes elements such as a Metadata Processing Engine (server), a Spatial Navigation Engine (client) and a Software Development Kit (SDK) – all of which are used by HōMEapplications^™.

• HōMEapplications^™ , such as HōMEtv^™, HōMEmedia^™, HōMEonDemand^™ and HōMEgames^™ provide features ranging from basic device operation to digital content access and navigation.
