Abstract :
In today´s content-rich homes, people use the television as a primary interface to enjoy various kinds of media, partly due to the screen size of today´s TVs and partly due to its central placement in many homes. On the other hand, the Internet has become an immense source of information and entertainment content. A traditional TV viewer´s experience can be greatly enhanced by enabling seamless search and access for relevant Internet content on the TV. In this demo, we illustrate a novel system and methodology that enables TV users to access relevant Internet content while watching TV.
