Future direction of digital content: 20th anniversary keynote talk

Published: 29 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

We review the history and trends of multimedia technologies, especially focusing on audio & video products. Our lifestyles have been changing according to the developments of these technologies. We forecast the direction of multimedia technologies and our lifestyles in future. We can guess that the future direction of audio & video is going to higher and higher fidelity. Display devices will be larger and flexible. In addition, wearable devices will be popular as consumer products. It will be achieved by printing manufacture technologies. These devices and high fidelity content will realize immersive super reality.
While we will enjoy the traditional audio & video content with the immersive super reality, we will use more social media by which realtime & global human-human interaction will be realized. We will be able to utilize other people's knowledge and decisions in realtime using the interactive & immersive super reality.
In addition to the social networks with humans, sensor & actuator networks will also be globally established. This will extend our perception and decision abilities. We will find new problems with the distributed sensor & actuator networks, which we did not find with our ordinary perceptions. Using interactive & immersive super reality, we will collaboratively solve personal daily problems as well as global problems.
Thus, in future we will realize collaborative community with interactive & immersive super reality. In the commu- nity we will enjoy entertainment content and will solve many problems collaboratively. This community itself will be the content in the future.
