Touchvie intends to change the way people watch TV while at the same time creates a new and much more optimized channel for e-commerce platforms, digital advertising agencies and brands.
Be it a broadcast TV channel, VoD platform or any other source, users can interact with the movie or TV-series that are watching via the Touchvie App (2nd screen) or directly on the 1st screen. Touchvie works completely independent from the producers, broadcasters or devices. With Touchvie any element/object on the screen (Actors, locations, music, cars, art, history, furniture, curiosities…. until 20 categories) becomes accessible to users’ with a great user experience. At the same time users watch it, Touchvie allows them to know about it (first tap) share it or buy it (second tap). As we will see later, Touchvie is placed at a two-sided market in which:
- Touchvie responds clear needs from end users (Audiovisual content consumers).
- Touchvie offers a disruptive channel for e-commerce platforms, digital advertising agencies and brands to reach end users (product placement, in-movie ads, non-invasive to users since it is launched only when users want to solve a doubt, share, buy something they have seen).
The main objectives of this project are:
- Upscale technology applying a new architecture and integrating improved software (further details in section 1.3 and WP2):
- Build a network of commercial stakeholders in order to support Touchvie market expansion strategy.
- Improve and fine-tune the business model.
- Design and implement an international market-oriented dissemination and communication plan for the product.
