Abstract: We assess the potential demand for video description technology to determine the viability of Description Video Information and Entertainment (DVIE) as a product for sighted viewers. Two forms of DVIE, with visuals and an audio-only version (original audio track plus DVIE), were produced for a television series, Odd Job Jack (OJJ). Sighted individuals from the target group (18-35 years) and from an older age group (65+) evaluated these different versions. Results showed that many people were fairly entertained by OJJ with DVIE. Those who enjoyed the show also indicated that they would be willing to pay a small amount to purchase an audio-only.
