TV Room uses Metadata to Assist in Programme selection

An Aussie research company has developed T-Visionarium II, a room which is surrounded by 360 degree video screens standing 11 feet high. Displayed by 12 projectors, split to the right and left eyes, the viewer can choose between 22,000 programmes by pointing and clicking on the desired image with a ‘high tech remote control’. The really interesting thing is the use of meta data which lines up other programmes in the background based on the viewers selection behaviour. Perhaps this more than the room, will evolve to be incorporated in the ever-growing expanse of multichannel and Internet TV.
