to create interactive, flexible and accessible media. These were all tried out this year when we put together a personalised documentary and also when we worked with ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Click to produce an episode of their technology magazine show where you could choose what you wanted to watch. Find out more about what we've done - and what we discovered - when we were trialling these new ways of making and watching TV.
Time for an IBC Daily roundup - our Forecaster5G experiments were featured in - following up on the blog post R&D's Joe Eyles published just before IBC. It's a good read if you're interested in finding out how bandwidth-hungry media experiences of the future could be delivered by speedy 5G networks - if you're at the show, visit our stand to play with our demo and try it out for yourself.
on the Augmented Reality experience we have on show - remotely rendering the AR and delivering it over 5G.
