SURFing the home with your TV
Pages 452 - 455
Abstract
SURF (Simple UI to Retrieve Favorites) is a system with which a user can interact, through a TV, both with electronic devices inside the house and with the World Wide Web (WWW). The user communicates with the TV by voice in two modes: reactive and proactive. We illustrate how, by speaking naturally, the user can check on locations in the home, or get information from appliances and specific information from the Internet, in a manner that does not interrupt the TV viewing experience.
