Zidgets

Zidget, a unique innovation in the consumer entertainment experience, is the industry's first true unbounded application

Built using Zodiac's advanced PowerUp Services, The Zidget framework enables small but powerful widgets to instantly launch from the sidebar, engaging the user without obstructing the TV program or interrupting the viewing experience.  Unlike traditional program guides or bounded EBIF apps, the Zidgets run persistent, unbounded applications that can entertain users for hours, making the advertising inventory very valuable.
 
Operators can quickly deploy applications from games to local search, from eBay alerts to traffic & weather to “best of the web”. 
  • For a multitasking user, the Zidget appears within seconds and provides great information and entertainment. 
  • For an operator, the Zidget is a new way to engage users and is built to embrace interactive advertising.
  • For an advertiser, the Zidget offers access to engaged television viewers.
  • For a content provider, any application that is currently designed to run on the web or a mobile phone can be ported into a Zidget, creating new distribution and revenue streams.
