Project option #3 (434 only):
Interface for a video on-demand cable service 

In the near future, enough bandwidth will be available through cable service, that it will be possible to offer video on-demand service. Using this service, users will be able to pick from a large selection, the movie they want to see next. Design an interface that will help users pick the next movie they want to see. For this project, keep in mind:

  • Thousands of movies might be available

  • Users will be using your interface in their living room while watching TV

  • Users might not have access to a keyboard, but might have access to something like a game console controller.

Please do not forget to check the hardware rules for 434 projects.
