BRIEF

Create an intuitive interface for viewing and discovering live and recorded content within a large media catalogue

Challenges

Research showed a wide range of possible technical constraints for the software from low-cost USB stick installations to high end set top boxes.
Design had to consider ecosystem of companion apps for mobile and tablet that were being designed simultaneously
Technical feasibility research ran parallel to design resulting in frequently changing requirements

Solutions

Simple navigation model usable on a 4 way directional keypad with one button
Design and animation built to feel premium but still be performant on lower-cost hardware
Design system built in collaboration to be extensible across platforms
Graceful degradation of certain visual elements
