The Mercury concept was developed to present a video user interface that combines smart channels and playlists to create a custom viewing experience. This blends the best of traditional television with the benefits of video-on-demand. It was created using the LUNA cross-platform video experience engine, which allows interfaces to be developed in JavaScript but delivers performance usually associated with native compiled applications, without the limitations of a web browser.
