Abstract

Several years ago, first conceptualizations of the usages of the secondary screen in the television environment were proposed. At the time, the real challenge was to convince stakeholders that interactivity was not a threat, but an opportunity. Ten years later, the mass adoption of smaller devices has reshaped the media landscape, truly enabling interactivity while consuming media content at home. What was perceived as hindering the user experience - the second screen - has resulted into an essential companion to the television. Paradoxically, even though key players are investing on secondary screen applications, there are very few successful examples. In this paper we provide an overview of the present state of the art through representative examples and discuss future possibilities and challenges. In particular, we will focus on the importance of immersion, taking into account the surrounding of the users, and of sociability, involving her social network.
