Abstract

In this paper we motivate the use of personalized multimedia presentations involving multiple output devices in a home entertainment environment. First we illustrate our vision and analyze the requirements. Afterwards we present the architecture of our system focusing on the output coordination strategy, which achieves a coordination of multiple output devices by means of an AI planning approach.Then we present our prototype implementation, which generates movie-related. The implementation consists of a TV set displaying an animated character, a PDA, which acts as a remote control and a 17" digital picture frame, which displays pictures and renders speech. We conclude with an overview over related work.
