Online and mobile games are the prototype for the 3D Internet of the future #netmediaWP2013

EGDF: rather than teach TV industry to develop interactive applications bring games developers into research projects #netmediaWP2013

EGDF: Games should not be separate from personalised/interactive connected media research. TV gets funding but games less so #netmediaWP2013

Content-driven distribution networks are needed for games. #netmediaWP2013

Games are increasingly distributed and played online. Shift away from traditional distributors can benefit small developers #netmediaWP2013

Gaming platforms are not dominated by European industry but European developers are very successful (eg. Rovio/Angry Birds) #netmediaWP2013

EGDF Position, Malte BEHRMANN, European Games Developer Federation #netmediaWP2013

Gaming is a killer app for driving young people into engineering and technology #netmediaWP2013

Proprietary technologies dominate the games industry and this inhibits competition – need open standards/platforms #netmediaWP2013

Europe is technologically behind USA/Asia in gaming: European strength could be QoE for gaming #netmediaWP2013

Serious gaming can transfer gaming technology to medicine, therapy, cultural heritage, training, education, telepresence #netmediaWP2013

Games present tough demands on networks (latency, bandwidth) - current network technologies are still behind what is needed #netmediaWP2013

Game technologies can facilitate progress in other media fields: multimodal interaction, telepresence, teleaction… #netmediaWP2013

Higher priority for research into serious games and deployment of gaming platforms/infrastructure and network support #netmediaWP2013

Gaming is often neglected by public research funding, and is even disqualified as a research topic in some cases. #netmediaWP2013

SESSION 5: Games as a focus for real-time 3D media #netmediaWP2013

Virtual Director: automatic algorithms for semantic lifting & on-the-fly decision making for real-time streamed A/V content. #netmediaWP2013

Large quantities of concurrent live A/V content streams makes selection difficult for humans. #netmediaWP2013

Virtual Director: key technology for live media services, Rene KAISER, JOANNEUM RESEARCH #netmediaWP2013
