| TA2 (Together Anywhere, Together Anytime),
pronounced "tattoo", aims at defining
end-to-end systems for the development and delivery of new, creative forms of
interactive, immersive, high quality media experiences for groups of users such
as households and families. The overall
vision of TA2 can be summarised as "making communications and engagement easier
among groups of people separated in space and time".
One of the key components
of TA2 is a set of generic and reliable audio, video,
and multimodalities integration and recognition tools. This includes automatic
extraction of cues from raw data streams. The running TA2 project stresses
low-level "instantaneous" cues; it does not deal with semantic-aware
integration of contextual information which could significantly improve the
quality of cues.
The proposed TA2
project extension focuses on the medium-level (context-aware) cues taking into
account not only low-level analysis outputs but also contextual information, e.g.,
about the activated scenario. The created semantic cues will be used by the TA2
system to orchestrate (i.e. frame, crop and represent) the audio-visual elements
of the interaction between people.
The addition of
BUT to the consortium will allow the semantic relevance of the metadata
extracted from the analysis to be interpreted within the particular contexts
described in the project. This will make the subsequent orchestration of the
video more effective and more efficient and hence improve the end-user
experience. The extension will enable building better applications that help
families to interact easily and openly through games, through improved semi
automatic production and publication of user generated content, and through
enhanced ambient connectedness between families. |
