Kevin Slavin, the co-founder of Area/Code that is  known from their iPhone game Drop7, is speaking about the future of TV at the recent 5D Immersive Design Conference. He ends with a strong point, contending that any screen without a mouse ships “broken”.

Kevin Slavin points out that television at its best is a massevent in realtime. The future of television in that context, with all the new tech and development at hand, will be quite exciting.

The blending of gaming and information tech and the ubiquity of mobile devices is going to supplant the existing passive viewer paradigm of the old television industry and replace it with something much more beyond and interactive than that. There will always be a place for linear narrative withint the emerging models and there will always be mass audience real-time events, but they will be so distorted by the emerging differences that it will be almost impossible to compare them directly to anything that has gone before.
