In the image, the label "Subwoofer Base Speaker" seems incorrect. Surely, it should be "SubwooferBass Speaker"?—Precedingunsigned comment added by204.114.196.11 (talk)04:21, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Remove most of the see also and those boxes at the bottom. Few of those links are relevant. Next, find some references. Who uses this term? Where? Since when? Finally discuss common probl2ms and solutions. --TMC1221 (talk)07:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
YouTube has sites specifically for game consoles, they call it "YouTube XL". They mention that it is in example of the ten-foot user interface. --TMC1221 (talk)16:07, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why the nintendo wii is not included here? I would assume that is in fact the most common and best selling example of this.97.91.179.137 (talk)02:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The photo illustrating a 10-foot UI shows a UI with a background image of a TV displaying a shark. This is potentially confusing, as it may not be clear whether the entire image is the UI, or whether the TV inside the image is supposed to be showing the UI. The latter is what I thought at first glance.— Precedingunsigned comment added byMnudelman (talk •contribs)15:27, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The layout drawing is not spelled correctly. This makes one wonder if any of the article was written by people who understand the subject matter, so we should fix it ASAP.Huw Powell (talk)04:15, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article claims "Ten-foot interfaces may resemble other post-WIMP systems graphically, due to a similar paucity of pixels". Maybe I'm missing something, but how many TVs have a display resolution of less than 1920x1080? A growing proportion have 3840x2160, which is about the highest resolution currently available. Yes, it seems that the designers haven't noticed this, but as it stands the article is just plain wrong. Any suggestions for improvement?Groogle (talk)01:45, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On TVs, theresolution (number of pixels) is independent of the screen size. This results in a wide variety ofpixel density (pixel size). Therefore at a given absolute distance (e.g. 10 feet or 3 meters) a graphic element of 50 pixels will be smaller on screen A than on screen B, if screen A is smaller than screen B.
This is why in the TV field, we express the distances in picture heights (H) [ITU-R BT.500].
Furthermore, if the absolute distance between the sofa and the television seems to have a median of 10 feet (3 meters), the median for the distance in picture heights is 6 H [acm digital library]. In all cases, this means that 50 % of people are further away.
In this unprecedented context, it is preferable not to offer texts in TV UIs intended for use from the sofa. We prefer very large images or full screen videos.The Ergonomist (talk)12:49, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
