What is Plasma Bigscreen?
Plasma Bigscreen is an open-source user interface for TV's. Running on top of a Linux distribution, Plasma Bigscreen turns your TV or setup-box into a fully hackable device. A big launcher giving you easy access to any installed apps and skills. Controllable via voice or TV remote.
Using the multi-platform toolkit 
Qt, the flexible extensions of KDE Frameworks plus the power of 
KDE Plasma Shell, Plasma Bigscreen is built with technology which feels equally at home on the desktop, mobile devices and TV.
Plasma Bigscreen combines many powerful software tools from established projects to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts. 
Mycroft allows us to control our TV with just our voice, CEC makes it possible to control the interface using your normal TV remote control, and 
PulseAudio drives the Plasma Bigscreen sound system.
