3. Bridge the Broadcast and Internet worlds
Key objective
Bridge the Broadcast and Internet worlds
Develop technologies, tools, systems and standards to enable innovative second screen applications spanning across Broadcast and Internet contents, including:
Automated and streamlined production for dual screens
Rendering of new types of content (e.g. 3D reconstructions)

4. Project results Major BRIDGET results: Innovation:
Hybrid broadcast/Internet architecture supporting companion screens
Professional Authoring Tools to generate bridgets and dynamic Augmented Reality (AR) scenes
Easy-to-use Authoring Tools for end users
BRIDGET Player to select bridgets, and consume and navigate hybrid content
Strong contribution to international standards
Innovation:
Visual search and media analysis
3D scene reconstruction
Authoring Tools (ATs) and end-user terminal tools

8. Engaging the stakeholders
External stakeholders (you!) are essential part of our project and a key to make it a success
BRIDGET can help you to be the leader in second screen innovation by providing standardised solutions and addressing barriers
In return for early access to our results we will seek your input on:
Deployment Environments & Constraints
Barriers which will need to be overcome
Technology choices which will affect second screen uptake
Plans that you are willing to share regarding second screens within your company’s future strategy.
