Virtual interactive studio television application using networked graphical supercomputers

Objective

The main objective of the project is the integration and demonstration of a generic and extensible system to support the generation of scenarios for real-time interactive television.

This realisation of a virtual interactive studio will offer facilities for mixing real and synthetic objects and characters in any combination, to be controlled remotely by end users such as home television viewers. The system will enable the realisation of innovative interactive domestic tele-services. The image content of the programmes will be generated over ATM in real-time by high-end graphical computers. To reduce costs telephone networks will be used for viewer feedback. The number of simultaneous interactive viewers will vary from a few to several hundreds. Three concrete and specific applications will be tested using the system:

- An interactive television drama (simultaneously on three channels) with viewer participation
- Creation of a virtual presenter who can be controlled remotely in real-time.
- Creation of an interactive virtual driving environment to teach traffic rules.

For the first time broadcasting companies will be able to transmit interactive programmes which viewers can actively direct and participate in. The project will build on the expertise and technology of the HUMANOID, HUMANOID-2 , CHARM, VISINET and VLNet projects.
