Abstract

The media industry is currently being pulled in the often-opposing directions of increased realism (high resolution, stereoscopic, large screen) and personalisation (selection and control of content, availability on many devices). A capture, production, delivery and rendering system capable of supporting both these trends is being developed by the EU-funded FascinatE project. In this paper, different aspects of the format agnostic approach are discussed which we believe can be a promising concept for future media production and consumption. The different parts of the complete multimedia production and delivery process are revisited demonstrating the requirements and the potential of such an advanced concept.
