If you can feel it, you can share it!: a system for sharing emotions during live sports broadcasts

The exchange of opinions through chat-based services or social networks while watching TV shows has become a common practice. However, the use of these platforms requires users to shift their attention from the TV to whatever device they are accessing them with. This may be a problem in the case of live sports broadcasts, since it can cause users/viewers to miss important events. Addressing this issue, we introduce WeFeel, a system that enhances the experience of remote spectators of broadcasted sports events, by allowing them to share their opinions and emotions with friends through the TV screen using a mobile device. Results from user tests were highly positive, with participants manifesting great interest in using WeFeel.
