Norigin Spatial Navigation Shortlisted for IABM’s Community Impact Award at IBC2025
Norigin Spatial Navigation, has been shortlisted for the prestigious IABM Community Impact Award. The winners of the 2025 IABM Impact Awards will be revealed on Saturday, September 13, 2025, during IBC2025 in Amsterdam.
Norigin Spatial Navigation is a smart TV and connected TV (CTV) UX technology designed to make content browsing faster, more intuitive, and accessible for everyone. By transforming how users interact with TV apps and streaming services, it delivers a fluid navigation experience across smart TVs, set-top boxes, and OTT apps.
This technology has been recognized as an open-source library for TV app developers and is already gaining industry-wide attention for solving one of the biggest challenges in modern TV design: making remote control navigation effortless.

Why Spatial Navigation Stands Out
-
User-Centric Experience – Remote navigation on smart TVs can often feel clunky. Spatial Navigation ensures smooth, intuitive movement across menus and content grids, creating a best-in-class UX.
-
Accessibility by Design – By simplifying navigation for all audiences, including users with disabilities, Spatial Navigation embodies the inclusive values that align with the IABM Community Impact Award.
-
Cross-Platform Innovation – Built to integrate seamlessly across smart TVs, set-top boxes, and connected devices, it guarantees consistent performance regardless of platform.
-
Proven Industry Value – Already shortlisted for the Streaming Media Innovation Awards 2025, Spatial Navigation is recognized as one of the leading technologies shaping the future of TV apps.
Why This Matters at IBC2025
IBC2025 is where global media technology leaders gather to showcase innovations shaping the industry.
