Nothing will be the same again - BBC's Visual Perceptive Media project will end the shared story experience

Tinkering with technology is what we do. Making something innovative, imaginative, going where no man has gone before makes us as happy as cats at Christmas… oh man those Christmas trees!

"Workshop by Ian Forrester (BBC/R&D): Perceptive Podcasting - creating audio experiences unique to each listener (en)"

"Time is over for shared experiences when watching TV. Based on the answers you give in an app, this video will adjust the story based on your personality and even your mood. Two people won't be watching the same again. "

"Doing things for a purpose through the (new) medium of broadcasting From virtual reality uprisings to cooking shows that respond as you slice and dice, the team at BBC R&D share their very latest experiments and ideas."

S3A is a major new five-year UK research collaboration between internationally leading experts in 3D audio and visual processing, the BBC and UK industry. The partnership aims to unlock the creative potential of 3D sound to provide immersive experiences to the general public at home or on the move. S3A will pioneer a radical new listener centred approach to 3D sound production that can dynamically adapt to the listeners' environment and location to create a sense of immersion. Current 3D sound systems rely upon fixed loudspeaker arrangements and acoustically treated rooms that are not practical for home use. S3A will change the way audio is produced and delivered to enable practical high-quality 3D sound reproduction based on listener perception.

What is Perceptive Media from TEDxBristol delivered by Ian Forrester

"Storytelling techniques within traditional broadcast media have not made major advances in recent years due to the linear and relatively rigid approach to narrative despite advances in the technology that delivers the content. This research proposes the concept of 'perceptive media' in which the content creators have at their disposal different tools and sensors to allow for the subtle adaption of the narrative without any direct interactions from the audience members. The concept is demonstrated through the creation of a 'perceptive radio' that is able to play specially designed content that adapts to the physical and social context in which the radio resides."
