Sammanfattning
The purpose of this paper was to research the use of second screen applications
for live sports broadcasts as well as providing guidelines for how to design such
applications from a UX perspective. In this study, a prototype of a second screen
application was developed and tested live during the 2019 IIHF Ice Hockey World
Championship broadcasts by Sveriges Television (SVT) in Sweden.
In this project a background study was made researching current studies within
the area. Furthermore user studies were conducted, which were used in order to
produce several different prototypes. User data was gathered with the help of the
final prototype that was released to the general public, and was analyzed with the
help of web analytics tools, providing insight in user needs and behaviour during
and between live sports broadcasts.
The project was done in close collaboration with SVT utilizing their already existing
knowledge of their viewers, extensive technical platforms, widespread outreach and
user base for second screen applications.
