13:00 – 14:00 Media for vertical industry sectors

Chair: Pierre-Yves Danet, Orange

Future of media in Europe where we can invite people from the most relevant vertical sectors for Media&Content technologies (entertainment, CCI, Health, Education, Tourism, …) we can have one key note giving information about Media&Content technologies and a round table with these vertical representatives

The idea is to better understand how media technologies initially developed for CCI and Entertainment can be also used by other verticals. We know that a number of sectors are using Media technologies such as Education for remote teaching, Health for remote medicine, Tourism for remote visit, ….

  • Short introduction
  • Presentation of the NEM SRIA, Silvia Boi, Engineering
  • Key note: Education, Entertainment, CCI, Baruch Altman, LiveU
  • Open workshop with participants in order to collect use cases where Media could have an interest for vertical sectors. How media technologies could benefit to digitalization of verticals (entertainment, CCI, Health, Tourism, Education, Industry, …)

14:00 – 17:00 New Immersive Media Formats

Chairs: Thorsten Herfet (University of Saarland), José Manuel Menéndez (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid), Sergi Fernandez Langa (i2cat)

Media is getting immersive. Not only do the classical major components audio and video reach an unprecedented level of immersion, they will be complemented by media-components addressing other sensors (touch, taste, smell). The session on New Immersive Media Formats will introduce the current state-of-the-art and visions for New European Media. Media Formats will redefine the way we communicate, learn, entertain and even work. Extended Reality is taking momentum and big corporations are riding the wave towards more immersive and interactive applications and systems with the main objective of bringing reality and virtuality closer. Soon we will be able to interact with others while apart as if we were sharing the same environment and we will be able to watch, hear and potentially touch or smell content immersed as if we were on it and from any point of view, with unprecedented levels of realism.

Consequently, higher order visual, auditory and other sensory data needs to be captured, processed, transmitted and rendered. This session aims at giving an overview of the most relevant current work in Europe towards the next generation of media experiences.
