The LIVE production system will be tested at ORF (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) during the Beijing Olympic Games. A total of 500 Austrian households will view and interact with the "LIVE Olympic Show". Over the two-week period a total of four interlinked channels will be produced. If successful LIVE could change the way we view live events such as the Olympics, the FIFA World Cup or a political election - on a permanent basis. Beyond the clear advantage of having fuller coverage of the event itself, those irritating moments of not knowing about the details of a sporting event—e.g. details about the contestants, the history behind it or, information on the venue—will be conveniently dispensed with by the power of this latest and pioneering broadcasting information technology. But what might even be more important: For the first time it will be possible to serve the always diverse moods of viewers by simultaneously offering multiple points of view on one and the same live event. As in real life there is always more than one story to be told.
