This is the touchscreen outback forthe Litl TV box , which aims to go where no man has kick the bucket before ( since 1998 ): To plough your telly into a legit entanglement web web browser with a new generation of web apps .
Anybody who remembers WebTV is probably now disbelieving of an attack to use television set as a mass medium for the vane . Litl says they ’re different though , because they want to produce web apps “ that offer group experiences . ” Okay . Litl does recognise , at least in theory , the Brobdingnagian gulf between web content design for the computer , and where the tv set sits , literally and metaphorically :
When you ’re tip back on a couch , those OS ’s do n’t work . So we ’ve rethought how the browse experience could process on a sofa , at 10 foundation by . What we really wan to deliver is an excellent web experience on TV , which does n’t be yet .
So that ’s bright .
The box runs Litl ’s bone — open , of course , to encourage app development — and it ’s designed to sit around next to your cable box , pumping web message to your TV over HDMI . The sliding distant works as a touchscreen or pops out a little keyboard ( necessary for WWW stuff , obvs ) . And the guts will be pretty herculean , at least Mac miniskirt level , so it ’ll have the succus to produce these “ group ” experience .
We ’ll see how this goes , but moderate out more over at Fast Company for now : [ Fast Company ]
