Descripción del proyecto
Problems of current systems for accessing Cultural Heritage resources which deal with film objects include some of the following aspects: distributed sources which store huge amounts of information; different formats of the contents, ranging from traditional ones such as paper to advanced multimedia objects; and finally, and what is more crucial for the content providers, lack of systems which support currently the needs of the user such as enriched content, interaction with the information, usability, and exchange of experiences with other users.Taking into account these gaps detected by cities with a strong connection with the Film sector, CINeSPACE aims at designing and implementing a mobile rich media collaboratie information exhange platform, scalable, accessible through a wide variety of networks, and therefore, interoperable and Location-Based for the promotion of Film Heritage, going beyond the current state of the art. CINeSPACE will enable users to interact with Location-Based multimedia contents while navigating a city. Audiovisual information will be delivered through a small low-cost wireless Head Mounted Display with a high definition screen situated near to the eye and audio phones. CINeSPACE system will also comprise a small camera able to record or send what the user is seeing. This information can be uploaded to a database through a WLAN hot spot or a 3G connection in order to create collaborative experiences with other end users.The consortium of CINeSPACE is composed by three research institutions with expertise in localization and collaborative environments (IGD), content management, indexation and semantic search (VICOM), and content personalization and knowledge representation (LH). Two industries, TRACASA as expert in LBS and administration sector, TRI as the manufacturer of the HMDs, and three Film cities (FSS, CV and SS) provide the contents for developing three scenarios.
