Mobile3DTV @ ICT Event Lyon

Mobile3DTV successfully participated at the exhibition of the 2008 ICT Event in Lyon. We presented our work at the booth of the 3D Media Cluster. The project was represented by Satu and Dominik as user experience researchers of Mobile3DTV and Aljoscha who also represented the 3D Media Cluster.

We shared the booth with our collegues from 3D4You and together we had a great time at the exhibtion. It all started with setting up the booth which again ment to bring the whole setup from Tampere all the way to Lyon in one cabin-class bag. But when we arrived at the Conference Center of Lyon, we were very happy to see that we had a perfectly located booth in the exhibition area with some white sofas and chairs so that we could arrange a very comfortable surrounding for all our visitors.


During the three days of exhibition there were a lot of people visiting at our booth - both fascinated about the 3DTV technology and interested in the project and its technological progress. We had great talks with other partners, academic staff, people from industry, and of course Members of the European Commission which made us very proud.


At the booth we did not only present a real-time 3D Video transmission over DVB-H. Satu and me used the possibilities to present our user-centered approach which we are taking within the project. Many visitors were very interested in our work and the results of our first studies into user needs and expectations about mobile 3D video and television.

Finally, I want to thank all people who were involved in the preparation of this successful presentation: Of course Satu and Aljoscha for their work at our booth, and Atanas Boev and Atanas Gotchev for helping with the preparation of the setup and the poster.

If you missed us this time, just watch out for the people in white, green and blue at the next exhibition or stay informed via this blog.

NEM Summit - a follow up

The first NEM Summit was a success. Mobile3DTV contributed to that success by presenting two papers and hosting a booth at the exhibition.

Our two papers were scheduled for the session 'Networks and Services II: Evaluation of the DVB Systems' chaired by Andrew Oliphant from BBC, vice-chair of NEM.
We made a single presentation, presenting two papers and given by three presenters. The style was quite unusual but later on people came to congratulate us for it.

At our booth, we presented a real-time 3D Video transmission over DVB-H. The whole setup - a broadcasting server, and four devices equipped with DVB-H receivers and autostereoscopic displays - could fit in a cabin-class bag. Here is a picture of our boot after unpacking and just before the crowd to come:

The equipment travelled (in the above-mentioned cabin-class bag) by bus, plane and car, half way across Europe from Tampere to Saint-Malo :)


There was an entusiastic group of people behid that demo: Oguz, Anil and Gozde from METU, Heribert and Aljoscha from HHI, Antti, Atanas Boev and Mihail from TTY.

For people who missed it, we are going to show an improved version at the ICT Event in Lyon 25-27 November. We are going to be at the booth of the 3D Media Cluster, which is Booth F11. See you there :-)
