Abstract

Digital TV has brought interactivity to television. Even though actual capabilities of interactive applications are quite limited due to immaturity of the sector and technical restrictions in the standards, the potential of interactive Television (iTV) as a multimedia and entertainment platform is enormous. The existing gap between PC world and iTV concerning graphics capabilities, may restrain the development of iTV platform in favour of the former one. Support for 3D graphics applications in iTV would boost this new platform with plenty of possibilities to be exploited.
