The article, shortened and in plain language

Roku will let users play with experimental apps for its home entertainment platform through a new program called Roku Labs. The program is launching with four in-development apps, and unlike other beta programs like Xbox Insider, it can be accessed by any Roku owner through a new Roku Labs tile directly on the Roku home screen.
Roku says users who experiment with the apps will be able to offer feedback and directly influence their future development.
