Google has released two sets of open source templates to help developers create web sites that will work well with Google TV products. They use standard web technologies based on HTML5, JavaScript and CSS, or optionally Flash. A user interface library has also been released to assist with the development of web sites that can be navigated with a remote control.
The templates are designed to deliver video but are equally suitable for photos or other multimedia. Two sets of templates are provided. One is based on open web technologies. Designed specifically for Google TV, it does not seem to be compatible across all browsers but interestingly it does appear to work reasonably well on an Apple iPad. The other uses Flash and requires Flash Player 10.2, which is currently a release candidate version.
