Introduction to Interactive Digital Television , EuroITV 2007
Objectives
This tutorial introduces the most significant findings in the multidisciplinary field of interactive digital television. The tutorial covers many topics, such as content distribution (broacast, internet), user interface toolkits, user interaction, user-generated content, and sociability. In addition, we discuss current commercial developments such as BBC peer-to-peer service, Google video and YouTube, social TV, and mobile TV. We conclude with an agenda for
further research. This two-hour tutorial provides the attendee with a solid background of the technologies, content, and user behavior, and an introduction to the open questions in the field. This tutorial is aimed at experienced (post-graduate, post-docs) researchers in
multimedia, human-computer interaction, media studies, who wish to gain a quick, yet in-depth understanding of what interactive TV is, what is the state-of-the-art, and which are the open research questions.
Target Audience
European Interactive TV (EuroITV) is a relatively new conference, so most of the people who join in are also new to the interactive TV (ITV) field and they tend to re-discover things. We foresee that this tutorial will facilatate the dissemination of the state of the art in ITV and thus enhance the production of new knowledge in the future. Moreover, this tutorial provides an overview to experienced ITV researchers and helps them to keep up with the many different subfields within ITV. Moreover, the tutorial is suitable for educators who want to introduce a new module on ITV and want to know which are the learning materials.
