Abstract

A system is described for enhancing the viewing of programs on storage televisions. The content of a program is webified and augmented by analyzing the closed captions to structuralize the content online and by searching for Web pages that provide information complementary to the program. The structuralized content and related information are viewed using an intuitive, zooming user interface that enables the user to switch gradually from watching a program to browsing the program like a Web page and to change the level of detail. Prototype testing validated the concept of this ”WA-TV” (Webifying and Augmenting TV-content) system.
