“Watching Dr. Who is exciting enough, but imagine if a robot Dalek in your living room was acting out the scenes live along with the on screen action. That’s the idea behind a new BBC technology that sends metadata directly into your room, along with the picture and sound.

The metadata is sent to the robot Dalek from a set top box using Wi-Fi, and commands it to follow the moves and actions of the Daleks in the show itself. Forget 3D, if this really works it will be able to move the action off the flat screen and into your room.”
