MEDIA CONNECT: Online video-based interaction without limits - 登山ガイドマップでARによる情報提示

登山などのガイドマップは、今までは紙だけで終わっていたため、そこからは詳しい情報、新しい情報、動画などによる現地の情報を得ることができなかった。画像認識技術を使用したスマートフォン向けのアプリケーションと関係させることで、今まで不可能であったインタラクティブな情報提供行うことができる。このビデオを見ると一目瞭然だ。


The increase of mobile devices has simplified the consumption and production of video on the go. Interacting with this content can be leveraged by Augmented Reality (AR), an emerging technology which enables immersive experiences in the real world by integrating digital media within the physical surroundings. While the richness of the content provided by ubiquitous, interactive, personalised media should add value to the users' experience of digital content in real world contexts it still has to prove that it can actually fulfil this promise, mainly regarding the interface with this content. Will people used to passive video viewing take the extra steps to personalise their consumption and choose to interact with video for more information? Will they prefer an AR interface to a digital map for finding a quiet spot on the tracks and to explore the latest geo-located statusupdates of nearby friends? MediaConnect investigated the influence of novel user interfaces on the Quality of
Experience (QoE) in accessing digital content situated in the real world.

The interactive video technology is ready for interested partners to be integrated in IPTV or in web applications. We will continue to explore the benefits of Augmented Reality for large maps and new target groups such as hikers.
