App developers are nothing short of artists. Well, in some cases, app developers are artists themselves. The same is the case of Faith Ringgold. She is an artist who was born and brought up in Harlem. Faith believes that art is something that lives inside everyone. She takes inspiration to be the most important thing in her life. In fact, all Faith tries to do with her art is to inspire people. Her work can be found in a number of art galleries and museums across the globe. She is also the creator of Quiltuduko. It is an android game based on Sudoku. Quiltuduko has 1000+ downloads on the Google Play Store.

This man from Spain is as humane as he is talented. Manel seeks refuge in circus arts. They offer him an escape from the chatter in his head.

Manel Alcaide is the founder of an app called Visualfy. His app helps turn sound into sensory and visual cues. He is trying to bridge the communication gap that exists between deaf people and the ones who can hear. Manel believes that everybody on the planet is the same, and all of us, regardless of our physical differences, are only people.

In 2015, Romania faced an education crisis. Only 40 percent of high school students in the country passed the baccalaureate exam, which is equivalent to the SAT. To help address this nation-wide concern, KFC Romania teamed up with MRM/McCann Romania to launch the Wi-Fi Test Campaign. The campaign aims to offer free Wi-Fi to students if they get to answer a test question correctly.

Nir Refuah, Chief Creative Officer of MRM/McCann Romania shared in the official press release that:

“While Romania holds record numbers in teen Internet usage and high Internet speed (top 3 worldwide), education performance ranks much lower. Donating digital assets for the community is trending up among social aware brands, and I’m proud that KFC and MRM/McCann Romania are part of the movement.”

The future of television is here.
TV is a major part of our lives. We gather together around our big screens to watch big movies and big events. Yet somehow, the overall experience of TV has continued to stagnate. Until now. It all starts by recognising that apps are the future of television. Apps are quickly becoming how we watch today. So we built a new foundation around this vision — with a new operating system called tvOS and innovative ways to connect with your screen. This is the new Apple TV. This is where television is headed.

All the entertainment your TV can handle.

Games and apps on TV. It’s going to be huge.

A TV experience you’ve never experienced.
