Week 6

Learnings from the Apple TV Human Interface Guidelines

Layout
1. Keep primary content away from the edges of the screen. Be mindful of the area spanning 60 pixels from the top and bottom of the screen, and 90 pixels from the sides.
2. Include appropriate padding between focusable elements.

Tab Bars
1. Match tab bars to the app’s visual style.
2. Use a tab bar to organize information at the app level. – A tab bar is a good way to flatten the information hierarchy and provide access to several peer information categories or modes at once.

Buttons
Don’t include back buttons. People know that pressing Menu on the remote takes them back to the previous screen or the main menu. So, no need to include ‘back’ button.
