Special Session on Interactive Linked Television: LinkedTV
sponsored by the LinkedTV project ( www.linkedtv.eu )
This special session focuses on a novel form of interactive entertainment being researched in the European FP7 project LinkedTV. "Linked Television" foresees the seamless interlinking of Web and TV content on the same screen and across different screens. Not only the means to dynamically associate Web content to audiovisual programming in order to enrich the viewers experience but also the possibilities to browse within this interlinked content across different devices and interaction means are subjects of our research.
As a goal of this session, LinkedTV will present its current explorations in interlinking Web and TV, how creative persons can design their own LinkedTV experiences, as well as how a second screen and behavioural tracking technology can be used to enhance LinkedTV interactions. Open discussion will be encouraged to examine in more depth how the current LinkedTV toolset and other creative technologies for content and interaction could be combined, also in the context of media art, to realise wholly new Web and TV mashups, and rethink how viewers will consume television in the future.
