Detection, Analysis and Rendering of Audience Reactions in Distributed Multimedia Performances

摘要

Recent advances in distributed multimedia technologies encourage the development of interactive performance systems. These systems allow multimple users to take part in a performance either as players or spectators and influence its development in real time. However, in order for these applications to become effective they have to provide meaningful interaction capabilities and adequate means of expression to all the participants. This research provides an interaction framework that seeks to address these requirements. In particular, the system allows players and spectators to exchange messages during the performance. These messages describe palyetr actions and audience reactions.
