Content is expanding

Content choices are rapidly expanding, with many service providers offering more than 300 channels, and video on–demand content approaching 10,000 new choices each month. Web sites such as Google Video, AOL Video, YouTube, and MySpace are attracting large and growing audiences. By 2010, the number of broadband video households will exceed 300 million¹ , and much of the video we watch will be delivered through these connections. In 2006, 64 million² U.S. households owned at least one digital camera, and those cameras collectively captured nearly 22 billion³ digital photographs in just one year.

Consumers strongly desire to view these growing digital media on the biggest, best screens in their homes: their televisions. The problem, however, is that the prevailing method for accessing and navigating content on TV is the combination of a 50–button up–down–left–right remote control and a text–based electronic program guide. This interface simply does not scale to accommodate today's content environment.

Hillcrest's HōME^™ Interactive Media System combines the first graphical, zoomable interface for television with a patented motion control technology called Freespace^™. HōME 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. The HōME Interactive Media System will revolutionize the way consumers interact with their televisions, and companies that offer products with HōME will dominate the home entertainment market and enjoy increasing market share for years to come.
