abstract: Interaction between any visual information user (viuser) and televisual data will be significantly enhanced by the application of the technologies and techniques presented in this paper. The current temporally linear, "streamed", one-channel-at-a-time televisual content display is replaced by a two part process of deconstruction and reconstruction.
