BRIDGET: An approach at sustainable and efficient production of second screen media applications

Abstract

This paper provides insights of an advanced architecture for authoring and consumption of second screen content aiming to develop innovative functionalities for enjoying multimedia content by connecting it to other related content, augmenting it with virtual information of interest, and allowing navigation of the 3D reconstruction of the scene. Innovative technology and the underlying architecture for efficient production of second screen applications is described, which includes novel front-end authoring tools as well as back-end enabling technologies such as visual search, media structure analysis and 3D A/V reconstruction to support new editorial workflows. A strong commitment on standardisation by the project's partners ensures the future-proof utility of the results.

Qualitative Evaluation of Media Device Orchestration for Immersive Spatial Audio Reproduction

“…In future work, MDO could be utilized to create a multimodal experience-for example, using different visual content reproduced on devices (as in second-screen experiences [50]) as well as connected lighting or temperature systems in smart homes. Effects such as audio-visual interaction [51] therefore raise additional possibilities and challenges that require further investigation.…”
