ABSTRACT
TV watching is a common leisure activity, and people often use the opportunity of TV watching to socialize with other co-watchers. However, when potential TV co-watchers like friends or family members are distributed in different locations, the social function of TV watching is disrupted. In this paper, we present a mobile TV content sharing system called Co-Viewing Room, which enables distributed users to share three types of TV content, including it whole video sharing, video clips sharing and it snapshots sharing during an online chat. We evaluated the system by comparing the influence of the three types of content sharing on users' experience and social interactions. Our results showed that people were satisfied with remote TV sharing support, and tended to be more responsive to lightweight shared content like snapshots and video clips. Also, people regarded snapshots sharing as a useful support for efficient social chat.
