OVERVIEW

This workshop seeks to increase the volume and quality of HCI research and
innovative practice around user interfaces for television. Internet
connectivity is driving a rapid increase in the range and scope of
interactive experiences on the TV platform and it represents an exciting
new opportunity for developing new HCI practice and methodology, as well as
innovative forms of user experience.

We invite academics and practitioners experienced in this topic to submit 2-4
page position paper (in CHI Extended Abstracts format) plus a short bio. Your
position paper should attempt to address one or more of the following
themes:

 + Remotes
 + Content Discovery and Engagement on Second Screen
 + Discovery of Devices (architecture)
 + Social Network and User Generated Content
 + Personalization and Recommendations
