Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV

Back in February, at a conference in Munich, I saw a fascinating short presentation on HbbTV, an recent initiative by European broadcasters and CE partners.  It’s a mash-up between broadcast and internet technology that capitalizes on the advantages of each.  Here is Wikipedia’s entry.  The links above provide descriptive information and a block diagram, but you really need to see it demo’d.  I went looking for them on YouTube.  Unfortunately, the best one I could find isn’t that good, this video of a video showing Wedison’s HbbTV Project.  --Dennis

It’s amazing how creative people can be with the proper amount of time and resources. It seems like every day there a new gadget or concept that comes out and revolutionizes the way we think about technology.
