Phase I

Discovery

Streaming fatigue is real. Users forget which platform hosts the content they want,

waste time switching between apps, and pay for subscriptions they barely use.

Research confirmed content discovery is one of streaming's biggest unsolved

challenges — users feel overwhelmed by too many choices spread across too

many places.

Research confirmed content discovery is one of streaming's biggest unsolved

The insight that shaped everything: the problem isn't too much content — it's too

much friction between the user and the content they actually want.

The primary persona: a tech-savvy millennial overwhelmed by choice, paying for

4+ streaming services and spending more time browsing than watching. The

solution — connect all your services under one account. GlassTV automatically

syncs watch history across platforms to build a unified, personalized

recommendation engine.

Three friction-reducers that make GlassTV feel effortless:

Three friction-reducers that make GlassTV feel effortless:

Tiered Notifications — Red for urgent (subscription expiring today), yellow for attention needed,

grey for informational. No notification overload.

Picture-in-Picture Minimize — Minimizes any show to the bottom right corner so you can browse

without losing your place. Like a browser tab for TV.

"Surprise Me" — One tap picks something to watch based on your viewing history across all

platforms. For when you can't decide.

Conclusion

GlassTV reimagines streaming by attacking the real pain point — not the content

itself, but the fragmentation around it. By building the experience around the user

rather than individual services, the concept shows how streaming could feel

simpler, smarter, and more enjoyable in a growing direct-to-consumer market.
