 Interactive broadcasting
• Production process that prepare the audiovisual
assets and computer programmes for an interactive
TV end user experience.
• Augmented reality –blends real environment with
interactive computer graphics that are controlled
either at the TV studio or at end user terminal.
 Satellite radio
• The satellite's signal are broadcast nation wide,
across a much wider geographical area than
terrestrial radio stations.
• It is available by subscription, offers subscribers
more stations and a wider variety of programming
options than terrestrial radio.
 Satellite radio
• The key components of the satellite radio systems
are satellite, ground repeaters, and radio receives.
• The broadcast uplink the signals to the satellite
through a centralised hub.
• The satellite then transmits the signals which are
picked up by receivers on the ground through a
detachable antenna.
 Satellite radio
• Limitations –
– involves high costs ,
– require centralised transmission,
– requirement of an antenna to receive signals, etc.

• Satellite radio will overcome the limitation of FM

radio, which has limited reach.
 Videodisc
• It is a product of the optical disc family and it has
tremendous capacity to store information, data,
visuals and voice.
• It can be interfaced with a computer to create an
interactive environment.
 Compact disc-interactive
• Is an optical storage system and an interactive tool
• Sophisticated audio-video tool that supports a variety
of playback format.
• It can also support animation, video and
photographic quality images.
 Mobile Communication
• Allows us to communicate with others in different
locations without the use of any physical connection.
• It makes communication easier, saves time and
effort.
 Mobile Communication
Advantages
– Flexibility
– Cost effectiveness
– Accuracy
– Speed
– Accessibility
– Constant connectivity
– Cloud computing
 Virtual reality (VR)
• A simulated experience that can be similar to or
completely different from the real world.
• Applications of VR include
– entertainment (video games)
– education (medical or military training)
– business (virtual meetings)
 Speech recognition
• This feature allows a device to recognize human
speech or words.
• It translates the spoken words into information
• The technology could be very useful for visually
challenged
 E- mail
• Primarily a store and forward messaging service
• Advantages
– Reduced cost
– Reduced paper handling
– Faster, improved and integration of data with
records management
 Direct to home (DTH)
• DTH will be more useful for scattered population and
rural area, where Cable TV and Satellite down link
facilities are unavailable
• Works through a satellite disc, digital decoder and a
SIM Card. The disc will accept the signals from the
satellite and connected to a decoder which will link to
the TV.
 Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Refers to the simulation or approximation of human
intelligence in machines.
• The goals of AI is computer enhanced learning,
reasoning, and perception.
• It is used today across different industries from
finance to healthcare.
 Affective computing
• Is the study and development of systems and devices
that can recognize, interpret, process, and simulate
human affects.
• This technologies sense the emotional state of a
user and respond by performing specific, predefined
product/service features, such as recommending a set
of videos to fit the mood of the learner.
 Cloud computing

• Is a range of services delivered over the internet, or

the cloud.
• It uses remote servers to store and access data
instead of relying on local hard drives and private
data centers.
 Quantum computing
• Rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws
of quantum mechanics to solve problems, that are
too complex for classical computers.
 Future Internet

• A general term coined for describing all the research

activities carried out for developing new
architectures for the internet with the view of
overcoming its shortcomings
