WatchPoint Media offer an end-to-end solution for creating, broadcasting and collecting responses for interactive television applications. The cornerstone of their offering is StoryTeller, a breakthrough authoring environment that provides a completely graphical, drag-and-drop interface, giving creative professionals total control over the look-and-feel of interactive content and enabling the creation of low cost, sophisticated interactive applications without the need of technicians to write code.
Jon Dakss, Chief Technology Officer, WatchPoint Media UK, said: "Our UK presence is dedicated to providing broadcasters and production companies a full range of interactive technologies and creative services, all integrated with the post-production process. StoryTeller is presently on trial with four prominent broadcasters and our in-house creative agency is at work on synchronised enhanced content programming and virtual channel development.
“We have already had a tremendous reaction from the community of broadcasters and producers in the UK, particularly in response to StoryTeller's unique features and the low-cost, rapid time-to-air offering."
