We present the metadata model that is used in the PrestoSpace system and discuss its design. A key issue is the integration of audiovisual content description and semantic metadata in the model as well as the ...

The AEVE provides for a brain-computer-interface (BCI) controlled audiovisual experience, presented through a virtual reality head-mounted display (VRHMD). We have developed an audiovisual art piece where progression through 3 sections and 1 extra section occurs using an “Attention” value derived from the Electroencephalography (EEG) data. The only interaction in this work is perspective that i...

This paper presents methods for real-time automated media segmentation, interactive audiovisual analysis, and media search in composition and performance tasks. In addition, we detail a use case where these tools have been deployed successfully as part of high profile public, national broadcast events, installations and exhibitions. These tools utilise a combination of data-mining and informati...
