Description
Web and TV seamlessly interlinked = LinkedTVOur vision of future Television Linked To The Web (LinkedTV) is of a ubiquitously online cloud of video content decoupled from place, device or source.Television existing in the same ecosystem as the Web means that TV and Web content should and can be seamlessly connected, and browsing TV and Web content should be so smooth and interrelated that in the end even “surfing the Web” or “watching TV” will become a meaningless distinction.To realise this technologically, LinkedTV will provide broadcast and online information (videos, images, text) to TV usable in the same way as text based information is used today in the original Web: interlinked with each other at different granularities, with any other kind of information, searchable, and accessible everywhere and at every time. Ultimately, this means creating Internet-based hypermedia for television.The result will bring TV and the Web even closer together, and it will open new areas of application for multimedia information.
