Smart TV
Smart TV is more than just TV.
TV is not just a display screen for a set top box or DVD player anymore. It's a fully interactive entertainment hub. Yes, it displays conventional TV or movies from an attached DVD or BluRay player. But it also hosts entire libraries of internet-connected applications. Smart TV also allows for full web browsing. It supports games that rival the performance of consoles just a few generations ago. And of course, Smart TV allows for new interactive TV experiences.
Smart TV is a powerful new platform that requires an equally innovative remote control. Simple button navigation won't allow you to browse the web effortlessly; one needs pointing for that. Most games on the cellphone leverage motion sensing and those same games on the TV require the same. On top of that, users already complain about having too many buttons on their remote, they want something more natural. They want something they can operate with one-hand, something that doesn't take up their entire lap.
It's clear, the Smart TV platform requires inertial motion sensing with built-in capability for pointing. Hillcrest Labs provides the best performing technologies in the industry. The patented algorithms can be provided in many different forms and configurations to fit the needs of your demanding application. Whether you need a highly space-efficient solution embedded on a physical remote or want to leverage latent processing available on your TV's SoC, Hillcrest can provide the appropriate solution.
Adding Hillcrest's Freespace® pointing solutions to your Smart TV product enables a fully natural user, elegant and fluid user interface. The remote control motion, pointing and gesture processing is robust and easy to use. Your designers are then free to implement the full range of applications,games and user experiences on the TV with no worry about the capability of the remote control.
