Neuros open set-top box lets you crowd-subtitle the presidential debate

Cory Doctorow 6:33 am Fri Sep 26, 2008

Joe sez, "Neuros has a new technology to superimpose text from a dedicated chat room in real time on a TV set, allowing a sort of 'crowd narration' for events or shows. Neuros is inaugurating this technology with the upcoming presidential debate so that anyone can participate in real time fact checking, discussion etc along with the candidates. While anyone can participate in the discussion you'll need a Neuros OSD to see that discussion on your TV set superimposed over the debate."

Participate in the US Presidential Debate with Crowd Narration

(Thanks, Joe!)
