How does OCAP help drive interactive application development?
OCAP drives interactive application development in two main ways • • Allows Java-based applications to be executed on OCAP-enabled devices. The notion of write-once-run-anywhere allows developers to free themselves from the chains of having to maintain code for numerous platforms and focus on the creative aspects of developing interactive applications. Maintaining applications for different platforms is largely seen as the biggest hurdle to the proliferation of interactive applications. • Supports a scheme where Java-based applications can be embedded in an MPEG-2 stream allowing programmers to enhance their standard programming with interactive content.
