Abstract

We present an agenda for the visual augmentation of television watching based on recently booming technology, such as smart wearables and Augmented/Mixed Reality technology. Our agenda goes beyond second-screen viewing trends to explore the opportunities delivered by wearable devices and gadgets, such as smartglasses and head-mounted displays, to deliver rich visual experiences to users. While still a work-in-progress, we hope that our contribution will be inspiring to the TVX community and, consequently, foster critical and constructive discussions towards new devices, application opportunities, and tools to augment visually the television watching experience.
