EPG-Board a Social Application for the OmegaBox Media Center

The goal of this research project is to investigate the use of technology in supporting social relationships by helping users throughout the decisional process (“What program could I watch this evening?”). In order to do that, we are developing an innovative social EPG, called EPG-Board, that integrates a to-watch planner, a message board, a rating and a tagging system. We are testing these functionalities in OmegaBox, a Linux based media center.
