Kylo is a web browser based on Mozilla's Gecko SDK for use on computers connected to TVs.
Kylo's on-screen controls are intended to be viewable from about 10 feet away from a 32" or greater HDTV screen running at 720 or higher resolution. Kylo was originally designed as companion software to the Loop™ in-air motion pointer from Hillcrest Labs. Navigation is done primarily through pointer control, such as with a motion controller (ie. WarpiaTV) or a mouse. Some work has been done to allow control with a standard Up/Down/Left/Right remote control.
