Reimagining the Xfinity screensaver experience to create synergy across residential products
Introduction
About
Comcast’s “Lab Week Science Fair” is a quarterly event where employees are given the opportunity to pursue their most inspired ideas, collaborate in new ways, and celebrate the creative entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation at Comcast. A group of designers and engineers came together after pitch day to design and develop a project.
Problem
Research shows there are 3.2 million launches per day, with an average of 29.4 minutes per session When the TV is paused and remains idle for 5 minutes, the screensaver feature ignites and cycles through a collection of static images including promotions, advertisements, and geographic photos.
This is a missed opportunity to enhance value and create synergy across our residential products.
