abstract = {Of late, various audio-visual services based on the internet are being deployed extensively. Among these, object- based audio-visual services are attracting more attention. In 2014, we had established the software defined media (SDM) consortium to investigate object-based and internet-based audio- visual services. Despite the increasing demand and popularity of live concert events, the placement of the microphone and camera limit the free-viewpoint watching of the contents of package media, such as DVDs. In this study, we design and implement an interactive 3D audio-visual service system called LiVRation, with a free-view-listen point. For subjective evaluation, 211 people were made to experience LiVRation and answer a questionnaire, subsequently. In addition, we demonstrated the system in the ”Billboard Live Hackasong 2017” hosted by Billboard Japan and received the first prize, based on the votes of the judges as well as the audience.},

abstract = {Internet-native audio-visual services are witnessing rapid development. Among these services, object-based audio-visual services are gaining importance. In 2014, we established the Software Defined Media (SDM) consortium to target new research areas and markets involving object-based digital media and Internet-by-design audio-visual environments. In this paper, we introduce the SDM architecture that virtualizes networked audio-visual services along with the development of smart buildings and smart cities using Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart building facilities. Moreover, we design the SDM architecture as a layered architecture to promote the development of innovative applications on the basis of rapid advancements in software-defined networking (SDN). Then, we implement a prototype system based on the architecture, present the system at an exhibition, and provide it as an SDM API to application developers at hackathons. Various types of applications are developed using the API at these events. An evaluation of SDM API access shows that the prototype SDM platform effectively provides 3D audio reproducibility and interactiveness for SDM applications.},
