Abstract
Interactive Digital TV (iDTV) is an emerging technology in Brazil, with inherent characteristics that must be addressed and which demand technical resources and references to support the design and development of interactive applications. This paper presents a design activity that reports and discusses the use of specific design patterns combined with prototyping tools and techniques inspired by Participatory Design in the design of applications for iDTV. Results are presented and discussed focusing on: the advantages of using design patterns in a participatory design, the main difficulties the groups had during the design activities, the importance of tools to support the design of iDTV applications.
