Abstract

The Mediator prototype which is demonstrated is the result of exploratory research into domestic online entertainment services. Mediators are anthropomorphic guides who aid users in selection and navigation to content in interactive television services. The project goals include developing prototype services and navigation tools and carrying out extensive user tests. The main focus of the work is to develop models of interaction, functionality and system behaviour.
