Challenges
Accelerate research, development and exploitation of innovative
Future Media Internet services through testbeds that support
experimentation of new forms of social interaction and
experience in online and real world communities.
 Engage users from culturally diverse
communities through R&D cycles
 Understand social, economic, legal,
and ethical consequences
 Consider socially driven systems,
complexity and uncertainty of use

EXPERIMEDIA is Unique in FIRE
We are investigating what the FI will be used for
.....not just how it will be operated

SMEs with beta technology
academics with innovative technology (ideally with letters of support from interested commerical
parties)
must target a single venue and demonstrate impact to stakeholders (e.g. quality of life through
communication, visitor experience, sports performance, learning/education, etc)
must include users and motivations/incentives for their participation including where appropriate
how such participation would scale throughout the experiment;
must consider the relationship between real-world and online interaction where real-world actions
have real-world impact through the FMI;
must explore the relationship between QoS and QoE using EXPERIMEDIA methodology and tools;
must use two or more EXPERIMEDIA baseline components together as enablers of the experiment;
must demonstrate access to the necessary data required for the experiment;
must contribute to the future vision of the FMI and drive the evolution of the EXPERIMEDIA facility;
must have a clear route route to market and exploitation at least within, but ideally beyond the
target venue context.
Innovative usage scenarios exploiting the multiple dimensions and scale of the EXPERIMEDIA
facility, including system level experiments
A clear positive impact for users and other stakeholders within the venue ecosystems.
