ABSTRACT
When using mobile screen apps on touch-based mobile devices to interact with live sports TV broadcasts, people need to keep an eye on those devices, since they do not provide tactile feedback. If the app on the mobile screen requires user interaction when something exciting is about to happen on the TV screen, the user needs to shift attention from the TV to the mobile screen, spoiling the whole experience. This paper presents WeBet, a mobile game that prompts users to bet if a goal is about to happen during a football match, without requiring their visual attention. WeBet aims to study if this concept conveys an exciting user experience by allowing a natural interaction with the mobile screen without looking at it. Results from a preliminary user test helped to validate our approach and identified important refinements for future work.

Bringing the sport stadium atmosphere to remote fans
MM '13: Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on MultimediaWhile watching live sports broadcasts we do not feel so emotionally connected with the performers and the in-venue fans as if we were watching it live, where the event takes place. Moreover, both remote and in-venue fans do not share a social connection,...
From the lab to the world: studying real-time second screen interaction with live sports
ACE '14: Proceedings of the 11th Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment TechnologyThis paper describes the design and evaluation of a new feature included on a second screen application for real-time interaction during live sports TV broadcasts. This feature allows remote users to bet if a goal is about to happen during a soccer ...
A Synchronisation Mechanism based on User Feedback for Second Screen Applications
MOBIQUITOUS'15: proceedings of the 12th EAI International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services on 12th EAI International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and ServicesIn this paper we present an interaction mechanism that allows TV viewers to synchronise their second screen applications in a simple and effortless way. This mechanism relies on the user feedback to deliver in-sync second screen events, and was designed ...
