TV viewers are using TV sets to watch things that have little to do with the traditional couch-potato players, but one company is experimenting with technology that tries to draw streamers, gamers and surfers back to the screen’s original purpose.

The number of connected TV devices sold worldwide will reach 330 million annually by 2017, according to consumer-electronics research firm Parks Associates, almost double the number to be sold in 2013. In May, Parks found 63% of smart TV owners connect the set to the Internet, and 79% of these owners use the TV to watch premium online video on a monthly basis.
