Although 3D is expected to emerge from the cinema to peoples' home, there is still a lack of knowledge on how people (future end users) perceive 3DTV and how this influences their viewing experience as well as their acceptance of 3DTV. Within this paper, findings from a three-day field evaluation study on peoples' 3DTV experiences, focusing on the feeling of sickness and presence, are presented. The study was conducted in a public setting of a shopping center, involving 700 participants. The study revealed insights on users' feeling of presence and sickness when watching 3D. Results show that most of the participants reported sickness symptoms after watching 3DTV with an effect of gender and age on the reported feeling of sickness. Our results further suggest that the users' previous experience with 3D has an influence on how realistic people rate the viewing experience and how involved they feel.","PeriodicalId":166630,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Interactive TV","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122357175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, among the future clients of DTT are a significant number of elderly and visually impaired people who can not entirely benefit from the TV content or possible interactive services. In this way, and considering that interactive television (iTV) services can contribute towards improving life quality of this type of users, it is important to apply accessibility, usability and design-oriented guidelines for the development of accessible iTV systems.\u0000 In this context, this paper introduces a research related to universal design issues on the iTV scope. Beginning with the identification of the difficulties and needs of visually impaired users as consumers of television contents, this research aims to propose a set of requirements to develop an interactive audio description service that meets the needs of visually impaired users, following a universal design approach.","PeriodicalId":166630,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Interactive TV","volume":"176 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114078982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, television means more than the classic reception at the TV set, it also provides new manifold opportunities for on-demand media consumption. The technical infrastructure grows extremely fast whereby an increasing number of options of how to use rich media are being offered. Functionalities from the Internet, such as e.g. communication, sharing and other information services enrich the TV experience. The convergence of media is not only visible in broader functional sets at one device, e.g. broadcast and online access at Media Center systems, but is also reflected in the interconnectedness of the device itself. In order to understand the design dimensions for further SocialTV applications, we conducted different kinds of empirical work including a diary study, interviews and creative workshops. Results indicate that several forms of parallel and convergent media usage have already been established. We identified flexible changes between devices and services related to TV and video content (cross-media jumps). We also discussed several mockups for integrated, cross-platform Social TV applications. It turned out that the identified needs relate to both a better interconnection between devices and services.","PeriodicalId":166630,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Interactive TV","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129606903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focused on mainstream TV broadcasters in Austria and Finland and chose 10 Austrian and 10 Finnish TV program formats that feature convergence with the Web. We conducted a multidisciplinary platform analysis based on a catalog of criteria established in previous studies that researched (non-) linear TV content in conjunction with the Web. In the second step, we summarized the outcome of the analysis by defining classes from the most frequently observed combination of criteria, which serve as a basis for the concluding discussion. Finally we present ideas and assumptions for a future scenario.\u0000 Our study identifies that there is minimal linkage between TV and Web content in both countries and its potential is not well recognized in the market place. The reasons are multiple and range from the lack of standards and mechanisms for implementing linkage to inadequate interfaces and input devices. Hence, linear TV content, which limits Web content to coexisting Web pages, prevails.","PeriodicalId":166630,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Interactive TV","volume":"2 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121009743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a modular architecture for DTV middleware, which allows easy extension and updating, providing a simple way to add new features to the middleware. This architecture is based on the OSGi framework and its software components, called bundles. A categorization of these bundles was proposed, based on different usage scenarios that were identified, according to industry time-to-market and innovation needs. Prototypes of the architecture and of bundles have been implemented, and tests performed with these prototypes show the feasibility of this approach.","PeriodicalId":166630,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Interactive TV","volume":"278 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134401637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
