Interaction with a TV companion app as synopsis and supplement
summary
A tablet companion app is built for the BBC documentary "the seven ages of Starlite" and tested with 28 participants in a between‑subjects comparison of synoptic vs supplementary content. Supplementary pages increase visual attention conflict, create time pressure and are themselves remembered worse, while there is no effect on program recall; overall UX shows small differences but coordinated viewing of TV and app becomes significantly harder with supplementary material.
