3. The Work Programme 2009-2010: what was called for Content-aware Networks and Network-aware ApplicationsContent-aware Networks and Network-aware Applications  Mass distribution, real time delivery and rendering, representation, augmented worlds.  User generated content/social networks, Enriched media experiences (at the “Extended Home”, content and context-aware, personalised, social media, real time). Optimal QoE. Users as producers, consumers, managers of content. 3D Media Internet 3D Media Internet Networked Search and Retrieval Networked Search and Retrieval  Large scale distributed MM content, interaction, dynamic adaptation to context and application, personalised search Immersive Media Experiences beyond HDTV and Electronic Cinema Immersive Media Experiences beyond HDTV and Electronic Cinema  Next generation MM and cinema: higher QoE (frame rates, contrast range, colour, resolution, “spacialised” sound, 3D, innovative 3D/multi-viewpoint coding…)

4. Upcoming R&D on “Networked Media and 3D Internet” (1/2) Content-aware Networks and Network-aware Applications: Content-aware Networks and Network-aware Applications:  Networked Media “ecosystem”  Content-centric network architecture  P2P architecture for User Generated Content  Network-controlled adaptive content delivery  Optimization of bandwidth of HD-SD IPTV and Internet TV streaming  Collaborative, social, context-aware and scalable media distribution  Optimization of content source selection and distribution (user preferences, network state  Compression and delivery of multi-view video and multi-channel audio   European reference architecture for Future Media Internet  Contribution of Networked Media community to Web standards

5. Upcoming R&D on Networked Media and 3D Internet (2/2)  New paradigms for realistic 3D communication over the Internet Virtual instantaneous transportation of people  Real time interaction between humans and virtual humans  Immersive and interactive TV (live events, ultra-high resolution panoramas…)  3D display and transmission of multi-view signals  New forms for the creation and delivery of live media content (automatic capturing of the events in 3D, realistic, interactive and immersive play-back…)  Virtual Centre of Excellence 3D Media Internet & Immersive Media Experiences 3D Media Internet & Immersive Media Experiences Networked Search and Retrieval Networked Search and Retrieval  Open platform for multimedia and multimodal content indexing, sharing, search and retrieval  Use of events as the primary means to organise and index media: experiential, new social networking (event-based communities), personalised, automated media search and content retrieval  European coordination action
