Abstract

This document describes a Model for the Planning, Development and Evaluation of iTV Viewer/User Interfaces. Explained are the motivations for the development of the Model and what is new about it. Also mentioned, are the models, methodologies, theories, guidelines, heuristics, design patterns, processes, “steps” and “tips” that were combined in order to achieve the presented Model. Some conclusions are presented and also future lines of research are point out.
