Accessible Big Screen: Designing the Future of Inclusive Viewing
summary
Smart TV use in Australia hits about 56% with 12% on Apple TV and 18% on Chromecast, and platform differences matter: Android TV, Apple TV and Fire TV use different screen readers and focus models, Samsung offers sign‑language avatar/recognition in the US, and native focus enlargement on tvOS often confuses viewers. Concrete guidance: aim for 7:1 contrast, use 24px minimum text with gradients behind overlay text, provide screen‑reader hints and states, and make QR codes at least 30cm square for 3m viewing.
