A 10-foot user interface is a user interface for a television set or a similarly sized screen. "10 foot" refers to the approximate distance from the viewer to the screen, which can be shorter or longer than 10 feet (which is about 3 m) depending on the size of the screen. Such interfaces have large menus and buttons that are also designed to be navigated by a hand-held remote control. Examples are electronic program guides, Apple's Front Row, and the Microsoft Windows Media Center interface.
Windows Media Center interfaces and tools can be created using the MCE SDK[1].
