2-Immerse: A Platform for Immersive Object-Based Multi-Screen Experiences

‘2-IMMERSE’ is an H2020 collaborative project creating and piloting new immersive object-based multi-screen experiences. To deliver these service prototypes, 2-IMMERSE is developing an extensible standards-based platform to support the production, delivery and orchestration of these immersive ‘Distributed Media Applications’.

 

His presentation will introduce the theatre and sports-based service prototypes that that have been designed, developed and trialled by the project, highlighting their key features. It will then present the architecture and implementation of the cloud-based platform we have developed in realising these service prototypes, and our approach to orchestrating the media objects of a Distributed Media Application within the end-user’s device environment.
