Abstract: Determining whether a (news) video is of-interest and what it is about is a time-consuming process. This is a problem when users quickly want to catch up with the latest news and don\u2019t spend time to see something they already know or saw or is not of interest at all. In this paper, we present a novel method for users to discover what a video is about by means of a summary of the video, presented as an interactive filmstrip. With the interactive filmstrip, users can quickly scan the contents of a video, determine if they want to watch it (and which parts) and playback these parts. The interactive filmstrip is implemented in a response web-based demonstrator application, with mouse-based interaction on PCs and touch\/gesture based-interaction on smartphones and tables.<\/p>\n

Abstract: Motion matching input, following continuously moving targets by performing bodily movements, offers new interaction possibilities in multiple domains. Unlike optical motion matching input systems, our technique utilizes a smartwatch to record motion data from the users\u2019 wrists, providing robust input regardless of lighting conditions or momentary occlusions. We demonstrate an implementation of motion matching input using smartwatches for interactive television, that allows multi-user input using bodily movements and offers new interaction possibilities by means of a second screen as extension on TV displays.<\/p>\n

Abstract: In the contemporary living room, the audience\u2019s attention is often divided between TVs, second screens and, increasingly, head mounted displays. To address this reality, ImmersiaTV is a H2020 European project which is redefining the end-to-end broadcast chain: production, distribution and delivery. It is built on two ideas: multi-platform synchronous content playout, and orchestrated videos rendered in the head-mounted display as interactive inserts, which allow introducing basic interactive storytelling techniques (scene selection, forking paths, etc.) as well as classical audio-visual language that is not possible to render with 360 videos (close-ups, slow motion, shot-countershot, etc). We demonstrate our pipeline for offline production, distribution and synchronized playout.<\/p>\n

Abstract: This demonstration will showcase a new approach to the production and delivery of multi-screen entertainment enabled by an innovative, standards-based platform developed by the EU-funded project 2-Immerse. Object-based production enables engaging and interactive experiences which make optimal use of the devices available, while maintaining the look and feel of single application. The ‘Theatre at Home’ prototype offers an enhanced social experience for users watching a live or ‘as live’ broadcast of a theatre performance, allowing them to discuss it with others who are watching at the same time, either in a different room or in a different home.<\/p>\n

Abstract: We have developed nine speculative (“half-resolution”) prototypes as part of our project to explore future possibilities for television experiences as widely as possible. The prototypes are physical representations of our research into why people watch television and what they like and dislike about it. Their physicality improves engagement and quality of feedback, at low cost. The ultimate goal is to be able to describe the high- level characteristics of a really good experience of television in the home, and so provide direction for future technology and interface development.<\/p>\n

Carlos Velasco \u2013 Marketing, BI Norwegian Business School, Oslo, Oslo, Norway<\/p>\n

Marianna Obrist \u2013 SCHI Lab, School of Engineering and Informatics, University of Sussex, Brighton, United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Abstract: We present a novel movie experience which involves users’ sense of touch. In our demo, we showcase this multisensory experience concept whereby a mid-air haptic technology, which creates tactile sensations in mid-air without direct contact, is integrated into short movies. Specifically, users can experience audiovisual contents (i.e., one-minute movies) enhanced via mid-air haptic feedback. We are convinced that this demo will stimulate interesting discussions around the future of viewing experiences for television, cinema, as well as online video consumption.<\/p>\n

Edinburgh Festival Explorer Demo<\/h3>\n

Abstract: Head-mounted displays and spherical (\u201c360\u201d) video are emerging as an important new medium. Watching a spherical video in a head-mounted display is a compelling experience the first time, but the user soon discovers that they cannot move. The problem of how to move a user\u2019s viewpoint between spherical videos recorded at different locations remains without a general solution. The Edinburgh Festival Explorer demonstrates a novel approach to this problem. The user is given a better sense of the physical relationship of the video locations by placing windows into video spheres in their geographical positions, and giving the user an overview of the region which they can navigate interactively.<\/p>\n

Abstract: We present the Cook-Along Kitchen Experience (CAKE), a novel prototype that illustrates a new type of interactive, personalised audio-visual experience created using Object-Based Media (OBM) concepts and techniques. CAKE is a real-time, interactive cookery programme that dynamically adapts in real-time as you cook with it. It represents a new interactive video format that combines existing technologies in novel ways to create a distinctly new user experience. We demonstrate the novelty of the user experience: users can interact with the application and see a behind the scenes view of the data model and scheduling algorithm visualising how CAKE is responding to user input.<\/p>\n

Javier Pastor \u2013 Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Grau de Gandia, Valencia, Spain<\/p>\n

Abstract: This paper presents a web-based platform that enables the customization and synchronization of subtitles on both single- and multi-screen scenarios. The platform enables the dynamic customization of the subtitles\u2019 format (font family, size, color…) and position according to the users\u2019 preferences and\/or needs. Likewise, it allows configuring the number of subtitles lines to be presented, being able to restore the video playout position by clicking on a specific one. It also allows the simultaneous selection of various subtitle languages, and applying a delay offset to the presentation of subtitles. All these functionalities can also be available on (personal) companion devices, allowing the presentation of subtitles in a synchronized manner with the ones on the main screen and their individual customization. With all these functionalities, the platform enables personalized and immersive media consumption experiences, contributing to a better language learning, social integration and an improved Quality of Experience (QoE) in both domestic and multi-culture environments.<\/p>\n

Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree video are set to become part of the future social environment, enriching and enhancing the way we share experiences and collaborate remotely. In this demo, we present our ongoing efforts towards social and shared VR; a modular web based VR framework that extends current video conferencing capabilities with new VR functionalities. The framework allows for two people to come together for mediated audio-visual interaction, while engaging in (interactive) content. First results show that a majority of users appreciate the quality and feel highly immersed and present. Thus, with our demo we show that current web technologies can enable a high level of engagement and i<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2388,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1653","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1653"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2434,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1653\/revisions\/2434"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tvx.acm.org\/2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
