D5.4: Implementation and documentation of user interfaces associated with last personalisation and interaction mock-up scenarios

Two different user interfaces have been created to explore personalisation of, and interaction with, object-based broadcasts. An app on an iPhone demonstrates personalisation by enabling the listener to change the balance between different elements of a programme, or to have the sound adapted automatically to one of several pre-defined listening environments. The app also allows the user to choose a shorter or longer version of a programme, to jump to points of interest, and to see transcripts.

The web browser interface developed for The Mermaid’s Tears drama allows the listener to choose between parallel narrative threads, supporting the story-telling with images. The choice of stereo, binaural, or surround sound reproduction is also offered.
