In this paper we present an approach for the authoring of interactive audio-visual services for the transmission to mobile devices using a broadcast channel. Our considerations imply a concept for a platform independent textual description of interactive services that can be transformed to several distribution formats. This concept is based on a high level authoring format for the creation of this...
The established digital video broadcasting networks can do more than transmit the ordinary TV program to the viewer's living room. The future of digital television will be interactive. Especially for local communities or people who are not familiar with computers, local cable networks can be an interesting alternative to the global Internet. We present a technology platform for using the traditional...
Since the idea of interactive TV has evolved and the obvious additional value of this development occurred, several platforms were realized - each with different file formats and different philosophies of implementation. Worldwide, these platforms are widespreaded, through advantages and disadvantages of each platform, difficulties of the technical realisation and political debates. Furthermore there...
Techniques to reproduce content stereoscopically are diverse and autostereoscopic displays are increasingly gaining popularity for this purpose. However, the output capabilities of available applications are limited to one specific stereoscopic method in the majority of cases. Further, the purpose of most products is to play back videos without any interactivity. This paper presents a graphics rendering...
Personal information consumption gets more and more important due to the huge amount of information available. In the Internet domain it is usual to create individual profiles e. g. on news portals to filter preferred categories. In this paper we present a personal TV system that realizes an automated selection and an assembly of news clips based on a synchronized metadata distribution via DVB in...
The IAVAS I3D Player is a terminal for object-based interactive audiovisual scenes. It features an advanced audio rendering engine allowing for a realistic reproduction of the aural parts of a scene. At the same time, a graphics engine is able to render two-dimensional and three-dimensional scene objects. In this paper we present the addition of stereoscopic and autostereoscopic graphics output capabilities...
This paper reports on the current status of the IAVAS I3D MPEG-4 player originally developed at the Institute of Media Technology (IMT) at Technische Universitdt Ilmenau, Germany, and now jointly advanced by IMT and Fraunhofer IDMT, also located in Ilmenau, Germany. The features of the player that are of most interest to the field of consumer electronics, implemented in the audio and visual rendering...
