Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the potential role haptic, or touch, feedback might play in supporting a greater sense of immersion in broadcast content and describe some preliminary scenarios we have developed to explore how haptic content might be created and delivered within the context of a broadcast programme. In particular, this work has looked at two potential programme scenarios - the creation of authored haptic effects for childrens' cartoons and the automatic capture of motion data to be streamed and displayed in the context of a sports broadcast. We believe that the interactive nature of this touch media has the potential to greatly enrich interactive TV by physically engaging the viewer in the programmed experience.
