Abstract

With the rise in highly capable, mobile and networked secondary devices, the two-screen Enhanced TV is a more plausible proposition today than ever before. This paper presents a field trial of a prototype that aimed to understand a conceptual merger of TV and second screen user experiences. Our prototype concept can be described as a companion device experience that enhances TV viewing by providing auxiliary information and media on a second screen. The additional media is semantically related and synchronized, in terms of timeline, to the TV content. We ran a three-week field trial in 11 households. Participants used our prototype as a companion to their TV shows. We provided a total of 43 episodes from 10 popular TV shows throughout the study period. Overall feedback to our concept was quite positive. 10 out of our 11 participants said they enjoyed the experience. Our prototype allowed participants to better connect with their TV shows and have an enriched social life around TV. We also report some of the discovered user desires regarding user interaction design such as kinds of customization controls needed and the pacing of posts of additional information to the second screen.

iTV双设备用户体验的现场试验

随着高性能、移动和联网的辅助设备的兴起，双屏增强型电视在今天比以往任何时候都更有可能成为一个命题。本文介绍了一个原型的现场试验，旨在理解电视和第二屏幕用户体验的概念合并。我们的原型概念可以被描述为通过在第二个屏幕上提供辅助信息和媒体来增强电视观看体验的配套设备。就时间轴而言，附加媒体在语义上与电视内容相关并同步。我们在11个家庭中进行了为期三周的实地试验。参与者将我们的原型作为他们电视节目的伴侣。在整个研究期间，我们提供了10部热门电视节目的43集。对我们的概念的总体反馈是相当积极的。11位参与者中有10位表示他们很享受这段经历。我们的原型允许参与者更好地与他们的电视节目联系起来，并围绕电视丰富了社交生活。我们还报告了一些发现的用户在用户交互设计方面的需求，例如所需的定制控件种类和向第二个屏幕发布附加信息的速度。
