Apple TV is a living room device driven entirely by focus-based navigation and the Siri Remote. There is no pointer, no touch screen, and no mouse. Every design decision must account for the 10-foot viewing distance, the simplicity of the remote, and the lean-back nature of TV consumption.
The focus system is the foundation of all tvOS interaction. There is no cursor -- users move focus between elements using the Siri Remote touch surface.
FOCUS-01: Every interactive element must have a clearly visible focus state. The focused item must be unmistakably distinguished from unfocused items. Use scaling (typically 1.05x-1.1x), elevation via shadow, brightness changes, or border highlights. Never rely on color alone.
Linee guida per l'interfaccia umana di Apple per Apple TV. Da utilizzare quando si creano app tvOS con navigazione basata sulla messa a fuoco, input di Siri Remote o esperienze di visualizzazione in salotto. Si attiva su attività che coinvolgono Apple TV, tvOS, interfaccia utente da 10 piedi o riproduzione multimediale. Fonte: ehmo/platform-design-skills.
