delivered via different network infrastructures… Convergence is not just about technology. It is about services and about new ways of doing business and of interacting with society” (Molyneux, 1999). The trend of technological convergence goes hand in hand with the consumer demand for unprecedented control over their television viewing experiences. 6.2 EXAMPLES OF NEXT GENERATION ITV Many of the prototypes from the American Film Institute’s eTV Workshop provide excellent examples of next generation iTV programs and applications. As exemplified by examples such as Battlestar Galactica and Dinosaur Highway, networks are experimenting with the convergence of gaming and television more than ever. In the 2004 workshop, MTV Networks teamed with the AFI to prototype Hijack, an application that allows viewers to play games on top of music videos. Hijack offers a series of ten mini-games running over music video programming on a 24/7 basis. Most of the games are variations of a “shoot-‘em-up” game. One game in particular, “Pixel Boi,” allows viewers to use their remote controls to make a character break dance over a video to the beat of the music. Weekly Hijack culminates with a one-hour show that pulls competitive highlights together in the weekly “Game Zone,” and allows players compete against each other for prizes (American Film Institute, 2004; Swedlow, 2004b). 179
(a) Figure 6.3 Examples of MTV Hijack (a) and (b) As evidenced by Figure 6.3, Hijack may not look like any interfaces that we are used to today, but such ideas will most likely be prevalent in the future. The concept for Hijack works especially well for MTV by addressing the problem that viewers tend not to stay tuned to music video programming for very long. Taking advantage of the fact that viewers don’t need to pay close attention to the visual information of music videos, which are broadcast repeatedly, MTV has incorporated gameplay as a way to retain viewership, create contest, and convene a community surrounding the traditionally passive genre of music videos. Also at the 2004 AFI eTV Workshop, for the first time, a prototype was designed to be produced only to air on broadband and not on a television. Living for the Weekend, on Scripps Networks, was prototyped to air exclusively on MSN Video Service as a video platform and soon via IPTV. This application uses Windows Media Player and the MSN Video Service, and its metapane and accompanying dynamic advertising facility: Scripps Networks’ Living for the Weekend is composed of hosted wraps, standalone segments, sponsored interstitials and a special interactive, short-form lifestyle feature for an emerging “broadband primetime” viewing audience. The content in this prototype is co-branded with CoverGirl, and includes eight, twominute segments like Molly Beeson’s “2 Minutes of Style,” Kathy Smith’s “Secrets to Healthy Living” and Sebastian Siegel’s “21 st Century Man.” The show 180 (b)
