Summary

A Nordic mobile multimedia company wanted to bring its content to viewers through an app that streams live TV and video on demand while realizing the concept of Augmented TV — interacting with users in real time. INNERLUXES designed and built a set of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone that stream high-quality video, surface relevant web services and news in context, and let viewers discuss what they are watching on social channels without leaving the app.

About the Client

The Client is a Nordic company with more than 12 years of experience in mobile multimedia. It offers mobile TV and radio solutions to TV, film, and music companies.

A Mobile Streaming App to Realize the Augmented TV Concept

The Client looked for an app development company to create a mobile video streaming application — covering both live TV and video on demand — that would realize the concept of Augmented TV and interact with users in real time.

Cross-Platform Live and On-Demand Streaming with In-Context Web and Social

Drawing on its custom mobile app development experience, INNERLUXES designed and developed a set of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. The apps let users:

  • Watch prerecorded shows and live streams, including live coverage of sports events, in high quality.
  • Reach relevant web services directly from the app, tied to the content being viewed.
  • Discuss episodes on social channels such as Twitter and Facebook without ever navigating outside the app.

Higher Credibility and a Wider Audience

INNERLUXES delivered a set of apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone that give users access not only to high-quality video but also to relevant articles and news. The solution improved the Client's credibility and widened its target audience.
