Exploring “live” Social and Networked Interaction with the Future Media Internet

 Media  a key driver for Internet usage  Real-time experiences  increased value in real-time vs recorded content  User centricity  important for RTD of successful products and services  Web and Internet Observation  understanding how and why human activity occurs at locations offers large socio-economic potential Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium,

 Three important socio- economic sectors  tourism and entertainment  culture and education  high performance sports  Six Future Media Internet (FMI) technology areas  testbed management  social media  user generated content  high quality content  augmented reality  3D Internet EXPERIMEDIA Project Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium,

Challenges  Engage users from culturally diverse communities through R&D cycles  Understand social, economic, legal, and ethical consequences  Consider socially driven systems, complexity and uncertainty of use Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium, Accelerate research, development and exploitation of innovative Future Media Internet services through testbeds that support experimentation of new forms of social interaction and experience in online and real world communities. 7

Objectives of the Call  Experiments that want to trial FMI technologies  SMEs with beta technology  academics with innovative technology (ideally with letters of support from interested commerical parties)  Each experiment:  must target a single venue and demonstrate impact to stakeholders (e.g. quality of life through communication, visitor experience, sports performance, learning/education, etc)  must include users and motivations/incentives for their participation including where appropriate how such participation would scale throughout the experiment;  must consider the relationship between real-world and online interaction where real-world actions have real-world impact through the FMI;  must explore the relationship between QoS and QoE using EXPERIMEDIA methodology and tools;  must use two or more EXPERIMEDIA baseline components together as enablers of the experiment;  must demonstrate access to the necessary data required for the experiment;  must contribute to the future vision of the FMI and drive the evolution of the EXPERIMEDIA facility;  must have a clear route route to market and exploitation at least within, but ideally beyond the target venue context.  Innovative usage scenarios exploiting the multiple dimensions and scale of the EXPERIMEDIA facility, including system level experiments  A clear positive impact for users and other stakeholders within the venue ecosystems.

Schladming Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium, RequirementsTechnical Constraints Experiments must aim to enhance visitor experience in the region during winter and/or summer sporting activities. Specific areas of interest include augmented reality goggles supporting real-time hands-free skier navigation, wearable sensor technologies and mobile devices supporting new types of individual and community ski training applications, route planning applications and services incorporating live tracking and congestion monitoring, crowd sourcing and participatory sensing for real-time environment monitoring. Tracking, training narratives and POI management where appropriate must be done using the PCC. Community activation and analysis must be achieved using the SCC. Experiment control and monitoring must be done using the ECC to capture and understand relationships between QoS, QoE and QoC metrics Where mobile applications are required they are expected to be published in the relevant application market place.

CAR Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium, RequirementsTechnical Constraints Experiments must aim to enhance training sessions by using technology to improve the performance of athletes and help sports scientists design training plans through detailed multi- factor monitoring of biomechanics and physiology. Sports considered include: WaterPolo, Taekwondo, Strength Training and Conditioning., Gymnastics Swimming, Trampoline, Table Tennis, Diving Specific technical areas of interest are advanced techniques to manage athlete performance data acquired from cameras and multiple WiFi based sensors including 1) systems for high quality video acquisition and management targeting non-invasive real-time sports analytics and 2) multiple sensor-based performance tracking delivered via personal mobile and / or WiFi sensor gateways. Acquired data must be synchronized and integrated to provide multi-factor views on athletes’ training sessions AVCC must be used for management of video data. Experiment control and monitoring must be done using the ECC to capture and understand relationships between QoS and QoE metrics

FHW Copyright University of Southampton IT Innovation Centre and other members of the EXPERIMEDIA consortium, RequirementsTechnical Constraints Experiments must aim to enhance learning experiences related to the Historical and Cultural Centre. Areas of interest include novel ways to deliver learning experiences to distributed communities using 3D content where human actors (e.g. teachers, experts, students, etc) participate/interact in virtual worlds as live reconstructions or animations. Techniques for compression and streaming of 3D models, and rendering and visualization targeting online (e.g. threejs) and immersive presentation technologies (e.g. PowerWall, Cave, Tholos) must be provided. 3DCC must be used for depth, skeleton and RGB acquisition of human actors. Experiment control and monitoring must be done using the ECC to capture and understand relationships between QoS, QoE and QoC metrics
