The future of TV is apps. But while kids are huge users of both apps and TV, VOD on TV hasn’t always been an easy experience for younger kids. Although a lot of players in the on-demand space now offer kids service, many designs were simply retrofitted to experiences built for grown ups. The team at kids-specialist platform Hopster took a different approach, rethinking every aspect of on demand for kids from a child’s perspective. Miki Chojnacka, Hopster’s Chief Design & Creative Officer, talks about fusing content, design and technology to build a new type of TV experience for a new generation of users.
