Future interactive digital TV

Posted in Sky by Andrew Johnstone on the July 10th, 2005

After recently posting some samples of Sky Active, I came across an interesting report, however a little too speculative from my point of view. “Future generations will use interactive digital TV just like we use telephones today”. Interactive services will broaden no-doubt, however the aesthetics and usability needs to increase. The correlation between visual media and interactive services certainly needs to set some guidelines.

I also came across MHEG…

MHEG stands for Multimedia and Hypermedia Expert Group. This is the name of the group within ISO that created the standard. MHEG has been specified for use in the Free-to-air channels (Freeview)
