"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."

The Narrative Paradox is a theory that describes interaction and narrative cohesion as being in tension, and asserts that the structure of a narrative is disrupted by user adaptivity, leading to possible incoherence as the system accounts for interaction.

"The move towards end-to-end IP between media producers and audiences will make new broadcasting systems vastly more agnostic to data formats and to diverse sets of consumption and production devices. In this world, object-based media becomes increasingly important; delivering efficiencies in the production chain, enabling the creation of new experiences that will continue to engage the audience and giving us the ability to adapt our media to new platforms, services and devices."

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.

The specificity of Facebook's advertising machine lets companies sidestep many potential pitfalls that could prevent them from launching a successful ad campaign. For Universal Pictures, one of the problems Facebook helped them sidestep was the fact that white Americans didn't really know what iconic rap group N.W.A. was, or that Ice Cube and Dr. Dre made music.
