Make a webOS TV dumb, then add private AI
What is Making a smart TV dumb and then smart?
R2D2 runs a Linux box that streams a sandboxed Chromium browser and local speech-recognition to a rooted webOS TV, replacing the built-in services with a private home screen and push-to-talk assistant. The TV still handles display, apps and the remote, but all smart logic stays on your own hardware.
Who it is for
TV hobbyists and privacy-concerned developers can experiment with a custom smart-TV interface without sending data to the cloud.
