Abstract
Augmented and Mixed Reality has been used in a variety
of applications within the scientific and industrial communities,
and edutainment (education through entertainment) and interactive
installations in public spaces. However, the great potential
of these technologies has very rarely been explored within
a broadcasting context.
BBC is developing the creative concepts and prototype
production tools that would innovate broadcast production
and enhance audience experience, based on and extending
state-of-the-art research in Mixed Reality.
This paper presents preliminary results from the introduction
of AR technologies in a public service entertainment
organization, such as the BBC, and then focuses on
the production tools and interactive productions developed.
The paper also summarizes technical issues that would
allow use of this approach in multiple environments,
such as in studios, classrooms and in the home.
