Touchscreen Television
Now a days I learn more by watching my 16 months old kid… There are 2 things he loves to play with – My Blackberry and MacBook Air. In fact, he loves these 2 things much more than his toys. Every time he sees this, he would want me to give it to him… and ahem, sometimes I do He finds the touchscreen functionality on my phone intriguing… he can go on for hours just pressing the screen and waiting for some response to happen. Now, I think he believes that any screen is touchscreen. Whenever the television is on, he would run to it to touch the screen. This habit of his got me thinking of weaving in the content and real time user interaction. The technology is out there and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a regular feature. How it might work especially on a popular medium like television: Gamification of content: Instead of following a single common sequence of event in a plot, the content would be tweaked basis the user interaction.
