Comment

Inspiration

To create a social,interactive,collaborative and engaging platform that allows children to interact with videos and each other instead of just vegetating in front of them as they do presently.

How it works

This will be a subscription based platform that can be an added as a feature in NBC Universal It will provide an immersive experience of the video by allowing active participation in the video using video overlay integration via Leap Motion or any other interactive inputting real time.

This will allow for a shared experience by the participants here friends,that can be invited via platforms such as Facebook,NBC subscribers that have shared their contacts with each other, or any other platform that allows for users to see their friends online e.g. Skype, Meetup, FaceTime.

The features will include an integrated voice recognition that will turn voice to text,thus avoiding interruption of the audio from the video.This will be displayed as a speech bubble on the avatar of the person concerned.

Challenges I ran into

The issues were finding the most appropriate API to use for what we wanted in creating video overlay. Bandwidth limitation. Issues with continuous video mixing. Limited timeframe to implement the vision. Having to use third party video server or creating your own had its limitations.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

WireMax API was use to great effect and we explored other third party API to make the integration possible.

What I learned

To work with video content and use Restful API, Python video library,

What's next for Augmented Interactive Movies

Adding added features that would allow a learning platform that can be used within as an in-platform feature activated at an extra cost.This would allow parents to use videos as an educational tool. Give incentives and monitor their children progress.

Adding an in-video advert that would allow the providers to advertise content that can be bought with a click link via WireWax to FindAnyFilm.Com
