Abstract

The Interactive Video and Data System is a

multidisciplinary research project involving the

creation of a means for people to interact with

television and printed media without the

addition of expensive hardware as required by

most interactive systems available today. The

IVDS system consists of a Consumer Control

Unit which transmits user requests, a Repeater

Unit which receives transmissions from the

CCUs, and a Host System which takes

appropriate actions for user demands. This

thesis follows the evolution of the original CCU

prototype as more capabilities are added and

hardware platforms are changed, focusing on

the addition of a bar code interface to the

CCU.
