LG smart TVs add educational, well-being and gaming apps
December 21, 2023
LG Electronics has unveiled an array of new apps available on the company’s smart TVs to meet users’ individual preferences and interests.
LG says its new LG smart TV services recognise unique learning needs and the desire for knowledge and personal growth. A notable addition to the services is Udemy, an online skill development marketplace and learning platform. Marking its first TV product appearance with its debut on LG TVs, Udemy empowers individuals and organisations with effective skill development by offering access to over 200,000 courses across more than 3,000 subjects in over 75 languages. Udemy allows users to validate their achievements and celebrate their success with the knowledge they have gained. The platform provides a wide range of courses created by more than 70,000 global instructors tailored to users’ personal growth and professional development, from programming and data science to leadership and team building. The lecture recommendations are personalised to each individual, using the power of AI systems that analyse and match learners’ unique interests and goals.
LG smart TVs also provide engaging learning platforms for children. ABCmouse is a research-validated digital learning solution for children ages 2 to 8, offering thousands of individual learning activities for young learners. Designed by education experts, children can explore a curriculum that encompasses all key academic subjects, including reading and language arts, math, science, health, social studies, art and music on an LG smart TV, diving into a world of engaging learning experiences.
Young learners can also delight in interactive learning with digital educational content from The Pinkfong Company, which presents engaging songs and stories featuring the popular characters Pinkfong and Baby Shark. Additionally, the upcoming Baby Shark World for Kids app on LG’s webOS platform promises diverse experiences, including English learning, cultivating healthy habits, singing and dancing to the rhythm, and enjoying cinema versions of movies – all within an interface optimised for TV.
LG smart TVs further elevate the entertainment experience with the ability to delight in a variety of casual games. Volley, a leading creator of voice AI games like Song Quiz, The Prize is Right and Jeopardy!, brings its top properties directly to the big screens of LG Smart TVs. Anipang Match, a web3 casual puzzle game developed by Wemade Play, integrates a play-to-earn model within the WEMIX PLAY blockchain game platform. Making its TV product debut, the larger screen will create a more immersive gaming experience, with intuitive play via the LG Magic Remote.
The most recent services and features available on LG smart TVs cater to various lifestyles and individual preferences. Users can prioritise their health and wellness with Alo Moves, the holistic wellness platform by popular athleisure brand Alo Yoga that provides expert-led yoga, fitness, mindfulness, self-care and nutrition programmes for all levels. The platform is hyper-personalised and provides recommendations based on users’ goals and interests. With Saatchi Art and Daily Art Story, a home will transform into a captivating art gallery with professionally curated collections.
