Designing Interactive Ambient Multimedia Applications: Requirements and Implementation Challenges; Information systems rept

摘要

Ambient intelligence opens new possibilities for interactive multimedia, leading towards applications where the selection, generation and playback of multimedia content can be directed and influenced by multiple users in an ambient sensor network. In this paper, we derive the basic requirements for a flexible infrastructure that can support the integration of multimedia and ambient intelligence, and enable rapid tailoring of interactive multimedia applications. We describe our implementation of the proposed infrastructure, and demonstrate its functionality through several prototype applications.
