Why I want my
CoTV™
The user benefits of coordinated TV + Web |
|
The core value
of CoTV is that Web content that supplements the user's TV (or other video) experience is
automatically located and made available on the user's PC/phone (by the CoTV portal) -- without
need for the user to navigate the Web to try to find it.
- Users will find that valuable, natural, and easy, and it
will increase how extensively they multitask TV with the Web.
- The evidence users will recognize that value is that masses
of users are already making such TV-Web connections on their own, even though they now
must do this context-matching with only their own head -- CoTV will provide a power assist
to greatly facilitate that

find it. Additional content can be created specifically for coactive use, by program
producers and others, and new kinds of user-generated content related to
TV/video viewing become easy to create).
