(presentation, pdf, 1.8 MB) is an IST project that aims at making cross media-production for games, movies and broadcast faster, better and cheaper by combining computer graphics, language technology, semantic web technologies as well as content based search and retrieval.
The purpose of the 3rd User Group meeting was not only to show the latest results from the project in relation to intelligent media production but to gather detailed feedback and ideas based on hands-on sessions during the meeting. Based on a live demonstration of creating a production the participants had the possibility to try the tools on their own and were able to judge their applicability in their environments.
There was time for informal discussions to analyze suitability of tools to the task, usability, comprehensiveness of function set, integration in the workflow process, and requirements and potential improvements from users' point of view.
