The former is required for dense presentation of musical sound, the latter for virtual worlds in which many avatars are expected to be able to interact. Narrowcasting for music enables aesthetic focus narrowcasting for talk enables cogni-tive focus. Our system supports two different kinds of sound sources: musical selections and avatar conversation (" voice-chat "). When audition is disturbed by cacophony of nearby tracks or avatar conversations, one's soundscape can be refined since the system supports narrowcasting, a technique which allows information streams to be filtered. The results of the workshopĬan be found on: We describe a musical cyberworld, " Folkways in Wonderland, " in which avatar-represented users can find and listen to selections from the Smithsonian Folkways world music collection. The goal of this article is to define semantic ambient media and discuss theĬontributions to the Semantic Ambient Media Experience (SAME) workshop, which was held in conjunction with the ACM Multimedia conference in Vancouver in 2008. Services for children, or intelligent homes. Predominant sample services are smart wallpapers in homes, location based services, RFID based entertainment What does semantic mean in this context? Which experiences will it open to us? What is content in the age of ambient media?Īmbient media are embedded throughout the natural environment of the consumer-in his home, in his car, in restaurants, and
Where information flows through a plethora of distributed interlinked media-what is the message ambient media will tell us? Now in the age of ubiquitous and pervasive computing, Medium such as TV, the Web, the radio, or books transmitted the message. The medium is the message! And the message was literacy, media democracy and music charts.
We show some common principles and point out further directions for a more direct coupling of the various spaces and interaction methods. In this paper we will present a set of systems that support the creation of as well as the navigation in musical spaces, both in the real world as well as in virtual environments. Other interfaces support the creation of playlists via artist or album selection, up to more artistic installation of sound environments that users can navigate through. Locating a particular recording is well supported by traditional search interfaces via metadata. Differ- ent systems and interfaces exist for the broad range of needs in music consumption. Ways for music selection and consumption may range from completely passive, almost unnoticed perception of background sound environments to the very specific se- lection of a particular recording of a piece of music with a specific orchestra and conductor on a certain event. Sound and, specifically, music is a medium that is used for a wide range of purposes in different situations in very differ- ent ways.
