Abstract
The media marketplace has witnessed an increase in the amount and
types of viewing devices available to consumers. Moreover, a lot of these are
portable, and offer tremendous personalization opportunities. Technology,
distribution, reception and content developments all influence new 'television'
viewing/using habits. In this paper, we report results and findings of a
transnational three year research project on the Future of TV. Our main
contributions are organized into three main dimensions: (1) a user survey
concerning behaviors associated with media engagement; (2) technologies
driving the social and personalized TV of the 21st century, e.g. crowdsourcing
and recommendation systems; and (3) technologies enabling interactions and
visualizations that are more natural, e.g. gestures and 360º video.
