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.
