This paper presents a new approach to make current and future television
universally accessible. The proposed approach provides a means of
universal accessibility both for remotely operating the TV set and
for interacting with online services delivered through the TV. This
proposal is based on the ISO/IEC 24752 “Universal Remote Console”
(URC) standard. This standard defines an abstract user interface
layer called the “user interface socket” and allows the development
of pluggable (plug-in) user interfaces for any type of user and any
control device. The proposed approach lays the foundation for the
development of advanced user interfaces that can be interacted within
various modalities. Different prototypes have been developed based
on this approach and tested with end users. The user tests have shown
this approach to be a viable option for the proposed scenarios. Based
on the experience gathered with the prototypes, recommendations and
implementation options are suggested for commercial adoption.
