Tutorials for EuroITV 2011
"Designing and Evaluating Social Video and Television"- David Geerts, K.U.Leuven

Abstract: In this tutorial, we will discuss how the social uses of television have an impact on how we should design and evaluate interactive television and online video applications. After categorizing several social TV applications, we will focus on the concept of sociability, and explain how this can be evaluated using guidelines and heuristics. We will also discuss how sociability can be
studied by performing user tests, both in the lab as well as in the field, and which aspects of testing are different from studying usability. Although the guidelines and user tests are especially appropriate for designing and evaluating social television systems and online social video, parts of it are also suitable for other iTV or online video applications.
"How to investigate the Quality of User Experience for Ubiquitous TV?"
- Marianna Obrist, HCI & Usability Unit, ICT&S Center/ University of Salzburg, Austria
- Hendrik Knoche, Media and Design Laboratory/ Ecole Polyechnique Federal Lausanne, Switzerland

The scope of user experience (UX) supersedes the concept of usability and other performance oriented measures by including
for example users’ emotions, motivations and a strong focus on the context of use. Thereby UX fits nicely with the scope of Ubiquitous TV that moves away from a device-centric view to an experience of consuming content on different platforms, in different social settings and various locations: from the traditional living room TV set, to the PC, passing through the mobile phone or the screens in taxis and throughout the city. The purpose of this tutorial is to motivate researchers and practitioners to think about the challenging questions around how to investigate UX for ubiquitous TV for different users in diverse contexts. In particular, a clear understanding of the qualities of such an experience is required. Within this tutorial, we provide insights on state-of-the art UX methods and measures, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages based on concrete examples relevant an ubiquitous TV environment.
"Deploying Social TV: Content, Connectivity and Communication"
- Marie-José Montpetit, MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, U.S.A.
- Thomas Mirlacher, University of Toulouse, France

Abstract: This half-day tutorial presents the underlying aspects and the enablers of social television. Three sections will combine to provide a full overview of the different yet overlapping areas that constitute the social converged television chain: content, connectivity and interaction.
Social TV has been named as a promising service in the next few years by both MIT Technology Review and Wired UK. And it is moving to the multi-screen and multi-device ecosystem of the new TV landscape. Consequently, novel approaches are needed to meet the deployment challenges of social TV services. While, until recently, it was sufficient to research social TV within the confines of the living room and its single TV screen, with the rise of the high resolution tablet computers and powerful smartphones social TV is becoming a ubiquitous anytime anywhere service. Deploying Social TV solutions now requires a systemic understanding of the end-to-end delivery chain from the networks that will support the service, the multimedia capabilities of the different devices that will render the experience and the properties of the different contexts they are used in to the viewer quality of experience and the content providers business models. The tutorial wants to provide the participants with an overview of these different elements with a focus on enabling technologies and user behavior research.
The targeted audience ranges from of TV generalists, social TV designers and researchers as well as information technology professionals moving into the TV industry.
