Abstract
The TV-centric gaming concept creates an environment where people can play games with each other in the living room gathered around the TV screen. Games are controlled through mobile devices, using them not only as controllers, but also as personal screens for each player. The TV-centric gaming concept was hard to commercially deploy due to a lack of a common programming platform on the customer premise equipment. However, recent developments in TV operating systems may allow for rebooting the TV-centric gaming approach. This paper presents a proposal of integrating the TV-centric concept with a modern Internet TV based ecosystem, and a potential business case which regards Over-The-Top services as a means of deploying the concept in practice.
