“…Previous research indicates that people watch television passively, using it as a means to pass time. [28][29][30] Thus, thinking of television viewing as more of a relaxing experience is not much of a stretch. As for the iPhone, the most well-received smartphone on the market, perhaps it allows users to aggregate news and information sources more easily with apps-applications that directly link to news and information sources formatted specifically for the iPhone.…”

Interaction techniques for interactive television (iTV) are currently complex and difficult to use for a wide-range of viewers. Few previous studies have dealt with the potential benefits of multimodal dialogue interaction in the context of iTV for the purpose of flexibility, usability, efficiency, and accessibility. This paper investigates the benefits of introducing speech and connected dialogue for iTV interaction, and presents a case study in which a prototype system was built allowing users to navigate the information space and control the operation of the TV by a speech-based natural language interface. The system was evaluated by analysing the user experience in five categories capturing essential aspects of iTV interaction: interaction style, information load, data access, effectiveness and initiative. Design considerations relevant for speech and dialogue information systems for TV interfaces also emerged from the analysis.

“…Further, remote controls can be difficult to handle when the buttons are too small, wrongly shaped, or narrowly spaced [23]. On the other hand, ease of use has been identified as the most important requirement for ITV [2,23,35,33].…”

“…One of the most common ITV applications is the electronic program guide (EPG), accessed through the TV set and used to, among other things, provide information and search facilities for TV programs [35,1,4,19]. However, the limited screen size and resolution of TV sets restrict the amounts of information that can be displayed simultaneously and result in complex navigation structures [20].…”
