Recommender Prototype in action
Television convergence is well underway and new interaction scenarios are emerging that require research and facilitation. I worked with Dr. Luis Francisco-Revilla and several students at the University of Texas School of Information to explore these situations through foundation research and user studies to imagine new interfaces that might enable social discussion and programming selection in a group context
The end result is a conference-style paper that explores group recommender systems in theory and implementation. It’s a very cool topic and the prototype generated for our research was compelling enough to warrant production of a revised full-featured system currently (under construction).
