Week 6_Apple TV app

3 things I learned from Apple TV HIG:

1. Text size:

Title 1 Regular 76 96 +11
Title 2 Medium 57 66 +13
Title 3 Medium 48 56 +15
Headline Medium 38 46 -26
Callout Medium 31 38 -16
Body Medium 29 36 -13
Subhead Medium 29 36 -13
Footnote Regular 29 36 -13
Caption 1 Regular 25 32 -3
Caption 2 Medium 23 30 +3

2. Some remote gestures:

  • Press the Home button once to return to the Home screen from anywhere.
  • Press the Home button twice quickly to bring up the App Switcher, which displays all apps open. Swipe up on the Siri Remote’s touch surface to force close an app.
  • Press the Home button three times quickly to access VoiceOver.
  • Press the Menu button once to go back.
  • Tap is for moving focus point, not same with clicking.

3. Layout

• Include appropriate padding between focusable elements. The element gets bigger when it comes into focus. Consider how elements look when they’re focused, and make sure they don’t unintentionally overlap important information.

• Allude to hidden content by partially displaying offscreen elements. In large collections where content doesn’t fit on a single screen, hint at the additional content by showing portions of the offscreen items.

My apple tv food app

Considering my food app as a social media platform that heavily based on images and which the interaction between friends involved mostly are comments and message. I decided to cut down some functions. So on the tv, the app will only have four tabs: Home(feeds), Nearby, Friends, Me.
