Content: The topic of this seminar is Advanced Multimedia Systems. Multimedia means, we are dealing with systems that process different kinds of media, such as audio, video, text, and images. Systems means, that we will rather take the user's and system designer's view than the engineer's and programmer's perspective, i.e. the presentations and discussions will be motivated by potential applications and systems rather than, for example, low level signal processing issues. (Note that this doesn't mean that we won't look at the algorithms and basics which are involved, but only that the motivation of all we are doing or talking about will be user and system centered). Finally, the term Advanced reflects, that we want to look at current research and trends in the area of multimedia systems and applications. This period, we discussed projects related to mobile augmented reality and mobile interaction. Most topics discussed in the seminar are also closely related to research that is currently done in our group. Hence, this seminar is also a good opportunity to get some background information in case you are interested in a related experimentation or thesis project.
