Abstract :
The synchronized presentation of tactile information along with audio and visual content can enhance viewing experience. In this paper, we propose two requirements of a Smart TV service: feasibility and flexibility. We then develop a tactile sensibility presentation service for a Smart TV that can synchronize tactile information transmitted through the Internet with a TV program broadcast digitally. An experiment of our proposed system shows that it realistically enhances viewing experience.
