“…The interactivity level that the remote control offers is limited to pressing keys, some of them mapped to a specific command in the television screen. According to Berglund et al [2] and Piccolo and Baranauskas [20], we can observe tree main problems that iDTV faces:…”

“…Some of them try to develop better remote controls [22,2,6,13]. Others propose different mechanisms not yet explored, as accelerometers [3], remote controls with barcodes reader [7], interactive applications that reproduce gestures [21], approaches that combine speech and remote control [5], or intelligent prediction mechanisms of text entry from the remote control [12], for instances.…”

The development of interactive digital TV applications is hindered by the user-interaction options allowed when traditional remote controls are used. In this work, we describe the model of a software component that allows text entry in interactive TV applications based on an interface with multiple input modes -the component offers a virtual keyboard mode, a cell keypad mode, and a speech mode. We discuss our considerations with respect to the design, development and evaluation of a prototype corresponding to our model, built according to the user-centered design methodology. After conducting a research on existing text input methods in television systems, we interviewed four experts in the interactive TV domain. We also applied 153 questionnaires to TV users, with the aim of gathering a user profile of users who make use of text entry mechanisms. During the development of the prototype, we conducted usability tests using the think aloud protocol, and usability inspections using the heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough techniques. The evaluations allowed the detection of both, a number of problems and of several improvement opportunities; at the same time that they highlighted the importance of using complementary text input modes in order to satisfy the needs of different users. Overall, the evaluation results suggest that the proposed approach provides a satisfactory level of usability by overcoming the limitations of text input in the context of user-interaction with interactive TV applications.

The pRemote ('p' stands for personal) is an alternative input device based on digital pen technology, paperbased interface layouts and text recognition. Compared to standard remote controls, the concept allows the creation of personal interfaces by the user, the use of different templates while running an application and an alternative for text input by writing with a pen. In our work, we developed a design study of the pRemote which was evaluated by eight users. The concept was appreciated by almost all of the participants. We exemplified the concept for controlling an already developed media application. The pRemote should establish a basis for further evaluations of different input designs.

“…Um dos principais problemas encontrados na TVD é a complexa navegação de informação pelos telespectadores através do controle remoto, que tende a ser grande, consistindo de muitos botões e não tão fácil para usar (Nelson, 1999). Tal navegação pode causar frustração e irritação do usuário (Berglund et al, 2005). A facilidade de uso foi identificada como um dos fatores mais importantes para o sucesso da TVD (Choi et al, 2003;Freeman & Lessiter, 2003).…”

O objetivo desta pesquisa é produzir orientações de usabilidade para ajudar nodesenvolvimento de objetos de aprendizagem fáceis de uso que serão utilizados na TVDigital (TVD). Para a definição das orientações, os seguintes passos estão sendo eserão realizados: (a) identificação de problemas de interface de aplicações para TVD;(b) projeto e desenvolvimento de objetos de aprendizagem (protótipos) para TVD; (c)avaliação heurística dos protótipos desenvolvidos; (d) testes de usabilidade para osprotótipos desenvolvidos. As orientações serão baseadas nos resultados dos testes deusabilidade realizados em laboratório.
