The White House is boasting about the "enhanced version" of the speech being made available online, and although the SOTU speech has been available via online live streaming since 2011, this year attempts to break new ground with the interactive features available to help viewers understand the president's proposals.
Nathaniel Lubin, the White House's acting director of digital strategy, has announced ahead of the speech: "In addition to the enhanced live stream that features graphics augmenting the speech, the river will provide a series of discrete pieces of content, or 'boats,' that showcase expanded, standalone views into Administration policy -- often with an interactive or personalized component. It's part of an effort to make policy more specific and interesting, and more relevant to the people who will be affected."
He added: "You'll generally get the kind of real-time experience usually reserved for sports events and technology company product demos -- and that content will all flow onto the page while you're watching the speech. If it's not clear, we're pretty excited about it."
