As the cost of production, storage and dissemination has plummeted for images, audio and video, challenges have arisen regarding how to most e?ectively handle this wealth of information. Digital recording devices have become cheaper, more widely available and are able to recording in better quality than ever before. Media representation has given us lossy and lossless file formats suitable for many different situations, from satellite broadcast to mobile streaming, each with their unique requirements and capabilities. Digital file storage devices have grown more capacious, high performing and more reliable. The one area that has not caught up is how to search and retrieval multimedia efficiently and e?ectively in these new, vast data sets and this is the focus for my work. More specifically, I wish to investigate the relationship between social context data and its e?ect on multimedia information retrieval.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
