Periodic Reporting for period 1 - VideoPlus (A platform for augmented video content)
Berichtszeitraum: 2017-01-01 bis 2018-06-30
VideoPlus takes such capabilities to the next level, implementing a close-to-market system that serves as a “uniform resource identifier” for video content. We implemented a novel framework, relying on video fingerprinting, to synchronize spatio-temporal metadata with any video content, without being limited to a specific video source or distribution channel. A user wearing AR glasses with our application looking at a movie will see an augmented reality layer displaying interactive video annotations, such as customised subtitles and details about the movie being watched. Mobile devices such as phones or tablets can also transform into secondary displays to improve the watching experience with additional related information.
