Title: Custom Television and the Phiz Network

Abstract: One of HP Lab's new projects, custom television, is attempting to look at consumer digital entertainment beyond TIVO. Being a new project, we'll be largely framing the problem and outlining our social, business, and technical approaches. Kurt MacDonald will be summarizing his summer intern work designing and mocking up custom television shows and entertaining discovery methods for the (fictional) phiz network. He will be illustrating his approaches with example video and showing how to configure custom shows, generate them using templates, and build effective photo videos using tried and true cinema techniques.
