SIGNALS: Designing TV for a Responsive Audience

Television has always tried to talk with us - from the phone-in shows of the seventies, to CEEFAX surfing over the picture, to the red button waiting patiently in the corner. Each was a signal of something bigger: an audience that wants to participate. In this session, Manon Dave, Head of Future World Design at BBC R&D, shares the story behind SIGNALS - a project reimagining interactive television for an audience expecting to participate. Expect a candid look at the prototypes, provocations, and design principles shaping what comes next for broadcast - and a glimpse of the responsive, conversational TV of tomorrow.
