Interactive Television

In the not-too-distant future, using only your imagination and television remote control, you will be able to interact with program and service providers through your digital TV set. For example, an interactive enhancement may be used on a program such as TEN’s 'Video Hits'. Click and you’d receive more information about the artist you were watching, their album, their biography, or whatever was relevant to that program or artist. Similarly, record companies could advertise a CD and offer an enhancement that allowed viewers to see upcoming tour dates for the artist.

Interactivity may also enable you to send information back to the broadcaster, connecting you directly with the program. Using the example of upcoming tour dates again, interactive television might allow you to reserve tickets to the concert, vote for your favourite artist in an audience poll or purchase the CD.
