| The Information Society Technology Village presents a joint demonstration of several projects in the IST cluster Interfaces & Enhanced Services All demonstrated projects deal with multimedia platforms for interactive audio visual services. They contribute to the further development and evaluation of open standards, such as MPEG-2 to MPEG-21, TV Anytime, DVB-ETSI, IETF, W3C and SDMI in the broadcast as well as the Internet domain. Multimedia delivery platforms based on open standards for the production, delivery and consumption of multimedia content are core to these projects.
Project CharacteristicsWhereas SAMBITS considers the overall chain, including the tools for on- and offline multimedia production, NexTV investigates new program concepts in which viewers are involved in the program creation and affect the content of the program. The MyTV platform enables consumers to have access to content and services at their convenience, independent of the moment of broadcasting. OCCAMM addresses the problem of open architectures and interfaces for on-line access to digital content with IPR protection and management, seen as an evolutionary process from today's piecemeal initiatives to full-fledged multimedia. SonG develops building blocks for the next generation of portals and demonstrates in a real-time application how they allow a more natural access to services. The ISTV provides an insight into future demonstration scenarios, which will be enabled by these new interactive systems, toward deeper user participation through expressive gesture and enhanced non-verbal communication, including music, human body movement, and the understanding of user's preferences and mood (MEGA). In addition, business models and evolving business roles are addressed for the different key actors of the end-to-end chain. Press Releases
