Canditv (candy-TV) is software developed by Data Driven Logistics, based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire in the UK.

Overview

Canditv utilises a standard mobile phone to interact with content displayed on any public video display in order to deliver content to the customer. By dialling a number that is displayed on screen, the customer can interact with the displayed content via the appropriate keypress on their phone.
