随着电视与数字技术的融合，讲故事变得越来越复杂。使用第二个屏幕已经变得很常见，但学术研究主要集中在社交应用上，商业应用则强调社区建设和琐碎问题。我们对观众的调查显示，观众对紧密同步的第二屏应用程序的需求尚未得到满足，这些应用程序可以帮助他们进入并跟踪具有多个反复出现的角色和多集故事情节的戏剧系列剧。我们使用迭代设计过程为广受好评的系列JUSITS创建了第二个屏幕伴奏应用程序，该应用程序紧密同步、上下文敏感和以角色为中心。我们的可用性测试表明，配套应用程序的使用增强了第一次观看季末剧集的观众的理解能力，在支持对角色关系的理解方面尤其有效，同时也为未来的应用程序提供了设计考虑。
As television merges with digital technology, storytelling is becoming increasingly complex. Use of a second screen has become common, but academic research has focused on social applications and commercial applications have stressed community-building and trivia questions. Our survey of viewers reveals an unmet need for tightly synchronized second screen applications that can help them to enter and keep track of dramatic series with multiple recurring characters and multi-episode story arcs. We employed an iterative design process to create a second screen companion application for the critically acclaimed series Justified that was tightly synchronized, context-sensitive, and character-focused. Our usability testing indicated that use of the companion app enhanced comprehension for first-time viewers of a late season episode, and was especially effective in supporting understanding of character relationships, while also surfacing design considerations for future applications.
