Implications of augmented reality in the management of television audiovisual information

Abstract

This document analyses the possibilities offered by augmented reality for exploiting the audiovisual collections of television archives, thereby presenting the idea, which has not been developed by any network, of providing viewers with the material issued and submitted synchronously for broadcasting. By using external elements other than TV sets (tablets, iPads, Smartphones), users can access images from the archive, which have been used to generate the information or programme, contributing also with additional elements that may be of interest. Other contents related to the information provided may be similarly accessed, thus facilitating a real conceptual map of the audiovisual contents of any event. Access may be granted free of charge or by paying a fee. Commercial exploitation is achieved in the form of viewer loyalty by gaining access to additional content and providing greater bi-directionality to the communication between viewers and the media.

Aplicaciones de la Realidad Aumentada desde los Servicios de Documentación Audiovisual de las televisiones

“…Algunos de estos dispositivos externos son los HMD, cascos o similares que se colocan en la cabeza que otorgan imágenes en Realidad Virtual o Mixta; ordenadores y portátiles; smartphones que con su mayor capacidad e integración de aplicaciones y estandarización de uso se nos presenta como una de las mejores opciones; tabletas; pantallas espaciales tales como hologramas, dispositivos ópticos, proyectores, etc. ; guantes de gestos y dispositivos de videojuegos, entre otros (Caldera & León, 2016).…”

Augmented Reality as an ontological tool to access televised audiovisual information: Value for the journalist and for the viewer

“…From this came the paper published in 2014 (Caldera-Serrano, 2014) which dealt with how the information generated and distributed through AR should be managed from a documentation point of view. A second paper (Caldera & León, 2016) analysed how AR contributes to the commercial exploitation of audiovisual archives, but did not offer a concrete and tangible possibility such as that which is developed in the present paper.…”
