| D2.6 - Distributed Media Application Platform: Public Software Release | Abstract This document first describes the public software release of the 2-IMMERSE Platform for the Development of Distributed Media Applications, Multi-Screen Experience Components and Production Tools. With these open-sourced software components, the community should be able to deploy their own 2Immerse platform and run similar distributed media applications. This document further describes a reference architecture, called DMApp-RA, for distributed media application platforms. This abstract architecture is derived from our 2Immerse platform, and reflect the knowledge and insight obtained through our own platform-building experience in this domain. The reference architecture is shaped by our original platform architecture, the platform design and implementation choices, the chosen set of experiences, which represent a wide range of domains, and the technology and feature choices made implementing those experiences. The project parties believe this abstract architecture specification will be a useful guide for the community to generate architectural blueprints for their own Distributed Media Application platform, and defines a useful nomenclature for the domain at large. Target audience This is a public deliverable and could be read by anyone with an interest in the details of the platform, service prototypes and production tools being developed by the 2-IMMERSE project. As this is inherently technical in nature, we assume the audience is technically literate with a good grasp of television and Internet technologies in particular. | Download PDF |

| D4.2 Theatre trial evaluation results | The document considers the first Service Prototype created by 2-IMMERSE and evaluates both the experience itself and the generic platform that we used to support this service. The software platform is a micro service based platform that has provided the means to create a fully-fledged social inter-home multi-screen TV experience based around watching a theatre performance ‘as-live’. The experience uses two devices, provides additional material and information, and allows people to communicate from different locations (video and chat based). The evaluation focusses on our experience with the platform but includes detailed finding from an extensive, highly situated user trial involving more than 35 people in more than 23 homes based on 12 distinct trials. The document reports the method of evaluation the results and identifies a number of key findings and recommendations for future work that are reported as conclusion and plans. The fundamentals of the micro-service based approach to building the platform are very strong though more work is needed to improve robustness and to make it easy for producers to create new experiences. We also found that users would have like more ability to control the layout of the service as offered to them. the target audience is anyone interested in building or learning about new multi-screen experiences. | Download PDF |

| D4.4 Prototype Service Description - Second Update | Abstract The four multi-screen service innovation prototypes that are being developed by 2-IMMERSE are described in this document. This is the second update of this deliverable. It brings up to date the visions the project has for each of the four innovation prototypes. The last status report was May 2017, this document was compiled in December 2017. The four prototypes were originally called Watching Theatre at Home; Watching Theatre in School, MotoGP at Home and Watching Football in a Pub, as you will see from the text the fourth is now Football at Home. Whilst the use cases are described very specifically, it seems clear that many aspects of service innovation concepts will have much broader applicability. To complement this written document readers are also alerted to look at videos available on this website. Target audience This is a public deliverable and could be read by anyone with an interest in the way television as a medium may use multiple screens to create richer and more immersive user experiences. It is of specific value to the project consortium as it defines the user requirements that the technology being supplied by the consortium should satisfy. | Download PDF |
| D4.5 MotoGP Trial Evaluation Results | Abstract This document describes the evaluation of a multi-screen MotoGP experience designed to be watched at home. The prototype is based on the UK round of the 2017 MotoGP championship that took place at Silverstone race circuit. The content assets used to create the ‘as live’ experience were provided by Dorna Sports and are used under license by the project. The 2-hour experience was evaluated by MotoGP fans in their homes using a small dedicated computer to act as the set top box that accessed a cloud based service based on a constellation of micro-services. Ninety three user responses have been assessed through quantitative assessment of the experience accompanied by qualitative responses elicited through a guided interview procedure. These responses were also compared with log based data collated using google analytics. Users’ impression of the overall experience and their assessment of particular features in the experience have been evaluated. We were encouraged by the responses. A significant majority (about 70%) of the responses indicated a preference for the multi-screen presentation over the normal broadcast presentation. There were many reasons cited as to why the multi-screen version was better but features that were repeatedly mentioned ‘more interaction’, ‘additional camera views’ and ‘more information’. Encouragingly, user feedback suggests that the multi-screen experiences that support personalisation also supports the goal of the commercial stakeholder for this work BT Sport who seek to develop TV services that enable users to “get to the heart of Sport”. This brand goal is hard to measure but representative quotes such as: • …it gives each viewer an interactive experience specific to her needs • …it made me feel involved while viewing • ..[you have] more info more engaging can do it with friends. • …[I] just that I felt it made a big improvement to my interest in the race • …it’s more exciting than ..watching it on TV … I felt more involved. • …it keeps you more entertained and makes it better to watch appear consistent with the brand goal of helping viewers “get to the heart of sport”. Tentatively we conclude that the multi-screen experience developed here would be enjoyed and recommended by a significant majority of our target audience (viewers of MotoGP on TV). Analysis of the annotated responses suggest that the new features enabled in this multi-screen experience are consistent with the goal of BT Sport to create services that allow users to “get to the heart of sport”. Target audience Anyone interested in building or learning about new multi-screen experiences. | Download PDF |
| D4.6 Football trial evaluation results | Abstract While traditional live-broadcasting is typically comprised of a handful of well-defined workflows, these become insufficient when targeting at multiple screens and interactive companion devices on the viewer side. In this deliverable, we describe the football trial from the 2-IMMERSE project. This trial included the development of an end-to-end system enabling immersive and interactive experiences using an object-based broadcasting approach. We detail the deployment of this system during the live broadcast of the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in London in May 2018. We also describe the trials and interviews we ran, the infrastructure we used, the final software developed for controlling and rendering on-screen graphics and the system for generating and configuring the live broadcastobjects. During this process, we learned about the workflows inside an OB truck during live productions through an ethnographic study and the challenges involved in running an object-based broadcast over the Internet which we discuss alongside other gained insights Target audience Please list here the targeted audience of this document (e.g. general public, highly experts in ..., etc.), and the pre-requisites expected from the readers. | Download PDF] |
| D4.7 Theatre in Schools Trial Evaluation Results | Abstract This document describes the evaluation of a multi-screen Theatre in Schools experience designed to be watched as part of a school lesson. The content assets used to create the experience were provided by the Donmar Warehouse and are used under license by the project. The experience was evaluated by teachers and students in three schools in the UK, using a small dedicated computer to access a cloud based service based on a constellation of micro-services. Twenty-one student responses and four teacher responses have been assessed through quantitative assessment of the experience accompanied by qualitative responses elicited through a questionnaire procedure. Further responses were attained from an additional thirty students, one teacher and one workshop leader through structured interviews and discussion group.
