Google Eyes Up Your Telly

Having conquered the web and the earth, Google has now set their eyes on your television.

An initial research project, announced at the Euro ITV interactive TV conference, covered a method of delivering contextually relevant web content based on TV audio.

Confused? Put simply, your PC will listen to the noise your TV’s emitting, recognise the programming and offer you further relevant content, chatrooms and the like. Although this seems a fairly clunky process (surely quickly superseded by combined TV/PC entertainment systems?) it shows how the future of the web is in adding depth to other channels.

You can read the full research document in a PDF here, if you so wish.
