# Designed for the ten-foot experience

Interfaces built for phones rarely work well from a bed.

A hotel TV is used from across the room. The guest may be lying down, sharing the screen with family, holding a simple remote, and browsing casually. That is a completely different design problem from a mobile app.

TVshuru is designed for the ten-foot experience: large typography, generous spacing, simple categories, calm screens, and remote-friendly interactions. Guests should not need precision. They should not need to read tiny labels. They should not feel like a website has been stretched onto a television.

This is especially important as hotel TVs become more connected. LG's 2025 hotel TV update added Google Cast support alongside AirPlay and used QR pairing to help guests connect without typing personal credentials into the TV. That same design lesson applies to hotel services: let the TV do what it is good at, then hand off when another device is better.

The TV is excellent for browsing. The phone is excellent for private details. A strong in-room experience respects both.

Because hotel TVs deserve hotel-first design.
