Abstract
The future ‘broadband platform’ could be any device that is attached to the broadband-enabled home network. In this paper, we focus on the use of PCs and games consoles to provide a shared experience of streamed 3D interactive mixed media. We describe two demonstration applications which are being developed to provide a better understanding of what can be achieved with streamed 3D interactive mixed media using suitable computer game technology.
