Overview of FI-CONTENT 2 Experiments and User Community Activation 1 Carmen Mac Williams, Grassroots Arts and Research 1st March Barcelona 1st March Barcelona

Activate user communities in 6 experimentation sites spread out over Europe Barcelona, Berlin, Brittany, Cologne, Lancaster, Zurich Initially small communities (20+ users/households) for early trials with capacity to ramp-up to much larger groups in future phases (1000s of users). To test and assess 3 federated content centric platforms Social Connected TV Recommendations/second screen/search/sharing of broadcast and VOD content. Smart City Guide Opendata/Live video/User generated content for building local communities and visiting cities. Gaming Mobile gaming experience blending real and virtual worlds To finally lay the foundation for an European eco-system for media and internet entrepreneurs An advanced Internet infrastructure (broadband fiber/LTE, cloud, FI-PPP enablers), App stores, available user communities and testing sites. What do we plan? 2

Cross-platforms/cross-experimentation sites matrix Our strategy is to provide a cross-platforms/cross-experimentation sites matrix to test the Social Connected TV, Smart City Guide and Gaming platforms across six experimentation sites in Europe to prepare for the large scale experiments for phase 3 across borders to allow more users and organisations, especially SMEs, to test and develop novel content applications.

Example: Smart City Guide Experiments The core of the Smart City Guide Platform and Experiments are social, service AND business innovation Social innovation Real time community co-design, content creation and sharing Service innovation Combine, organize and visualize live Open Data, user generated content, user experience and feedback, and editorial content for personalized and contextualized media services aiming at discovering, places, people, venues, events The business innovation The platform will be open for third parties such as SMEs and Web developers for open call and phase 3 to create own services. There will be clear Service Level Agreements forSMEs to be able to take advantage of the services.

Example: Gaming Experiments The Games platform will offer open source access to each of its specific enablers which will be developed upon the realization of the architecture. This access will grant all (or in some cases the most usable) code elements of these technologies arising. Third parties will be able to access these advanced and refined services arising from our development of specific enablers focused on the 3 tiers of use cases for experiments Tier 1: Consumer Products - This tier targets augmented-reality games based on toys, fashion, and other connected, digitally enhanced physical products. -(digital toy, location-based & city wide gaming). Tier 2: Location-Based Installations - Here, we target games developed in an installation such as a historic monument in which connected, cooperative game experiences are used to make the visit more compelling. Tier 3: City-Wide Games - The third tier targets citywide games in which larger numbers of players interact in unstructured environments.

1st March 2013, Barcelona FI-CONTENT User Community Activation for Phase 2 As a reminder: FI-PPP is led by industry and driven by users… FI-CONTENT partners have already established local focus groups about the Future Media Internet during phase 1. The objectives of the first focus group were to co-create Future Media Internet experiments to be carried out in phase 2 together with them The focus group meetings in phase 2 will build on top of their results.
