[eccr] 3rd European Conference on Interactive Television

Thu Jul 08 10:03:01 GMT 2004


3rd European Conference on Interactive Television
VR Media Lab, Aalborg University, Denmark, March 30 - April 1, 2005
http://www.kommunikation.aau.dk/indimedia/mar3005.html

Following up on the successful EuroITV03 and EuroITV04, this conference on 
production and consumption of interactive television will bring together 
iTV developers, HCI practitioners, market researchers, academics and 
industry researchers to share their experiences and knowledge. It will be 
an excellent opportunity to explore the research issues raised by 
interactive television in a wide range of domains, e.g., information, 
entertainment, games, commerce, education, health.

We welcome delegates from all areas of academia, the TV industry and user 
organisations.

About Interactive Television
Television is a familiar and trusted part of most people's lives.

Interactive television gives the newly active viewer the opportunity to 
extend their use of the television to activities more familiar than the 
Internet. They can browse information on topics of interest, personalise 
their viewing choices, play interactive games, carry out e-commerce related 
activities (shopping, banking, betting, etc.), and play an increasingly 
active role in broadcast programmes, even to the extent of interacting with 
other viewers.

Governments and policy makers increasingly see interactive television as a 
means to bridge the digital divide by getting everyone online from their 
sitting rooms, while companies see it as a way of adding a new resource 
stream.

All the signs are that more and more interactive services will appear on 
our television screens, yet there is little research on how to design for 
iTV or on its effects.
