The recently launched COGNITUS research project envisages new scenarios in which conventional professionally-produced high quality content in Ultra High Definition (UHD) format is enhanced and aggregated with user generated content, which the most typical manifestation is YouTube. COGNITUS aims to use such user generated content as the starting point for creating new and interactive UHD viewing experiences, by means of demonstrations at real-life large events such as big sport events or music concerts, enhancing the audience experience.
NOVA LINCS researchers from Multimodal Systems Group, João Magalhães, Nuno Correia and Sofia Cavaco are working on the COGNITUS collaborative research project. Running from January 2016 to December 2018, COGNITUS is a H2020 research project led by BBC R&D, comprising the following European partners: BBC (UK), Forthnet (Greece), Queen Mary University of London (UK), NOVA Laboratory for Computer Science and Informatics from FCT NOVA (Portugal), VITEC (UK), FORTH-Institute of Computer Science (Greece), ARRIS-Pace (France).
