- This work investigated the next generation of ‘second screen’ companion apps where content is synchronised with the TV programme. This is the first published study to show that viewers can successfully interleave their gaze of both screens. It is also the first study to show that a companion app can improve understanding of factually-rich TV programmes, using results obtained in a laboratory study. The novel form of companion app created was provided to the BBC to accompany their documentary. It is an exemplar for the apps that will be possible when the merger of TV and web is complete.
