Abstract

Mobile TV is a class of pervasive multimedia services which currently enjoys considerable scientific and commercial attention. In this paper, we propose the integration of peer-to-peer interactivity as one likely Mobile TV evolution path. We integrate findings from related fields to develop a definition of Mobile Social TV and outline its design space in order to discuss opportunities of integrating content and communication. Furthermore, we illustrate the concept by presenting our ongoing mobile TV research, technological and user aspects as well as future research directions.
