Abstract

In this paper we present an interaction mechanism that allows TV viewers to synchronise their second screen applications in a simple and effortless way. This mechanism relies on the user feedback to deliver in-sync second screen events, and was designed as a universal solution that can be used on any live broadcast.

Keywords: second screen delays synchronisation live tv broadcasts hci user experience sports fans soccer
