Mobile TV, social interactive television, and ambient entertainment: At the fifth European TV Conference - EuroITV 2007 - various topics dealing with the future of interactive television will be discussed. The conference will be held at CWI from 23 till 25 May 2007. Over 100 researchers, broadcasters and manufacturers are expected.
"Television is a social activity," conference organizer Pablo César (CWI) says. "Technology should enhance the social aspects of interactive TV. That's why the subtitle of the conference is 'Interactive TV - a shared experience'." The BBC and others will give demonstrations. Keynote speakers Maddy Janse (Philips Research), Luiz Fernando Gomes Soares (PUC-RIO, Brazil) and Matthias Rauterberg (TU/e) will talk about their recent research. Poster presentations deal with P2P television, usability, t-learning, 3DTV, and interactive advertising.
The conference is sponsored by CWI, KNAW, and ERCIM, in collaboration with ACM, SIGMM, SIGCHI, and SIGWEB. Co-sponsor is IFIP.
