Accessible via the red button on the pay TV remote control, the service will include a range of interactive TV games and quizzes. Games will be based on the cartoons and hosted segments that make up the ABC's RollerCoaster TV after school programming. Quizzes will include questions submitted by viewers. The interactive services will also tie in with www.rollercoaster.com.au, which has expanded to allow children to share their own video and animation content. Other interactive features allow viewers to superimpose special effects on top of live broadcasts, such as ability to throw objects across the screen and play sound effects.{moscomment} |
