Sheryl - television aided interaction
A viewer who chooses a role based on a character from the program can order a role kit. This role kit contains more information about the character (a diary for example) and also something that indicates to others that this person is playing a role. This identifier can be some type of a patch, electronic sensor or something improvised by the viewer. It is up to viewer how much resemblance with the character she or he wants to have. It is important that the other players can tell that you are participating.
The kit contains also tasks defined by interaction designers. These tasks require that a person playing a role contacts actively other players performing in the places defined in the program. By carrying out the tasks received with the role kit and complementing those by communicating with the others the viewer gets the most out the television program.
