Abstract

We present a novel interface design for MyInfo, a personal news application that processes and combines content from TV and the web. MyInfo provides personalized content selectable by topic such as weather or traffic. In addition, users can play back a personal news program as a TV show, leaving themselves free to complete tasks such as making breakfast. We detail our design process from concept generation to focus group exploration to final design. The main design challenges include (i) understanding what kinds of TV/Web applications people want, and (ii) developing an interface that fits people's lifestyles.
