Published:22 October 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Through evolving technical conditions, television offers rising possibilities to interact with programs. Hence, it might become some kind of individualized mass medium. At the same time the media choice changes. Interactive media like digital games or Web 2.0 applications rise significantly. This paper therefore deals with the systematic design of interactive TV applications and sug-gests a design-process model. Local communities are focused as an ideal target group for such applications, as they soonest meet the technical and social conditions for interactive TV applications.
