EVENT DESCRIPTION
Interactive Television, whether on set-top boxes or on Internet- 
enabled televisions, poses interesting challenges in Interaction  
Design. The most obvious is enabling interactions without a keyboard.  
But it's also a challenge to develop metaphors for navigation,  
elegantly round up content, and provide ways for editors and users  
alike to annotate the content. We will discuss these challenges, as  
well as the shift in product development toward the interface as a  
product and the pitfalls of following blanket design guidelines.

This will be a discussion-based talk with a healthy mix of case studies.
