Abstract
Technology improvements have provided us with capabilities to capture media content that far exceed those we have available to use and experience media. We argue that the emerging possibilities in interactive television provide compelling opportunities to create new forms of programming based on a combination of a consumer’s media in combination with professional third party content. At Accenture Technology Labs we are creating prototypes that demonstrate this form of programming in the context of a next-generation living room equipped with a large screen television along with several wall mounted digital picture frames, and a coffee table embodying a large display. The technological constraints that have governed television have largely led to the programming we see today: a few expensively produced programs each intended for an audience of millions. We use our media environment to demonstrate the opportunities at the opposite extreme: the possibility of millions of cheaply produced programs each intended to appeal to an audience of just a few. For example, given such an environment, what would a “show” of my vacation media be like? We believe great opportunities lie ahead in services that provide programming that address such questions.
