Abstract

The Interactive Digital TV enables the creation and dissemination of interesting multimedia applications. It is natural to ask whether Interactive Animation and Virtual Reality applications are contemplated. Initially one can say no. Due to the high computational power required by these applications, it is not plausible run them at a set-top box or embedded processor on a TV set. This same question can be asked when mobile devices are taken into account, since they have similar computational constraints to Digital TV. This paper presents a strategy that enables the use of Interactive Digital TV and Mobile Devices to provide multimodal interactions with some classes of Virtual Reality applications.
