Wednesday, December 7, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM (EST)
ETV syncs up with cable
Although interactive television (iTV) weathered a rough go in the early part of the decade in North America, the sector, thanks to competition, is heating up again. While parlor games and other "unbound" applications continue to grow, "bound" enhanced television (ETV) apps will take interactivity to a new level that syncs viewers with the programs they are watching. This panel will explain what ETV is, how it will work in the cable environment, and give example of how it will be applied in the "real world."
