Personalised spaces for immersive and social media experiences

The aim of this project was to develop immersive and interactive audio-visual environments for users to enjoy the 3D immersive content, interact with it and share it within their social groups without disturbing others in the shared physical location.

A multi-screen solution placed in a living room was able to serve multiple users with different video content of their choice, and a dedicated spatial audio rendering system ensured that each user’s audio was only audible at a location coinciding with the viewing angle of its corresponding visual display.

With this personalised immersive audio-visual environment, each user would have his/her own viewing and interaction environment in a common multi-person location with much improved functionalities as well as user experience.

This was a three-year project, successfully completed in December 2019.
