Summary
This thesis first introduces readers to the issue of smart television and entering text on this platform. Further work is focused on the exploration of existing methods of text input on Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV platform. It also describes the design, development, testing and evaluation of their own solutions entering text using a universal remote control. Design your solution is based on the review of previous work in this area and several rounds of pilot testing. Another aim was to design and carry out a controlled experiment input text on a platform of interactive digital television. In the experiment I compared the performance (speed and error rate), which participants achieved through the proposed solution and using a virtual on-screen keyboard, which is the de facto standard text input on the TV. Eight participants completed 20 fifteen-minute transcribing sessions of text with both text entry methods.
