Summary on Grant Application Form
Inhabited TV involves the delivery of very large-scale collaborative virtual environments into the home. This project will develop new multimedia networking support for inhabited TV applications. The project will focus on mechanisms for session control and QoS management which are highly dynamic; which support spatial inter-relationships between different media streams (e.g. trading peripheral against directed awareness across different media); and which support so called stateful media alongside continuos media.The project will also develop appropriate metaphors and high-level abstractations so that these mechanisms may be visible and malleable to participants and application developers at the user interface. The project will develop three iterations of an Inhabited TV application using the MASSIVE-2 system. These will be deployed across BT's futures Testbed network to conduct network experiments and so validate the project's results.
