Proposed Solution
The broadband quality of iTV holds a great promise by providing a variety of new options. The viewers have the ability to choose what they want to see, when they want to see it, and access to full-motion TV-quality video. Interactive TV offers new ways of organizing content as well as the ability to deliver the information from multiple sources.
With this project, I have attempted to design a broadband news aggregator in order to retrieve news feeds from multiple sources. The same news story is presented from multiple perspectives based on the news organization providing the story. This gives viewers a well-rounded view of a particular issue, especially when various international spins are presented. Furthermore, the proposed project offers features that enable viewers the ability to engage with the content of the program including the following.
