pulling down the custom info curtains allows viewers to access a range of valuable information on the currently aired program. the elegant “color bar/curtain solution” allows users to access a large array of content, all of which is streamed to the app, live, corresponding to the content being broadcasted.
for example above when the program airs a special show, or focuses (in this example) on an athlete, his facebook feed will be streamed into the app during his air time. other curtains contain additional info. for example below images of the athlete are being pulled from google.
the curtain content can be customized based on what the station or the program directors choose. for example imagine watching Wimbledon and being able to not only read historic facts on the sport, pulling in instagrams channels of your favorite player, but also being able to view and purchase the tennis gear and outfits used or worn by the athletes, right there-and-then. simply swipe the yellow color bar, which can be programed to pull information or display a chosen page of the manufacturers website.
