Developing Multi-Modal Media and TV Apps with React Native: Techniques and Best Practices
05-31, 15:15–15:55 (Europe/Rome), Auditorium

In this talk, we will explore the world of developing media and TV apps using React Native. In the complex and fragmented landscape of smart TVs and streaming devices, React Native offers a powerful and efficient way to develop apps that work across multiple platforms.

We will begin by discussing the unique challenges and considerations involved in TV app development, such as designing for the 10-foot user interface, optimizing performance, and handling remote control navigation. We'll then dive into the key techniques and best practices for building TV apps with React Native.

We will cover essential topics such as:
- Setting up a React Native development environment for TV apps
- Designing a TV-friendly user interface with React Native components
- Implementing smooth navigation and focus management
- Optimizing app performance for TV devices
- Incorporating multi-modal interactions, such as voice commands and gesture controls

By the end of this talk, attendees will have a solid understanding of how to leverage React Native to build multi-modal media and TV apps that engage users across different interaction modes.
