With today's abundance of captured/created graphics/images, audio, and video in hand, can we make full use of this media to explore new experiences or applications? Along these lines, HP Labs has developed a prototype technology called Mediascapes or Mscapes. A Mediascape is a context-aware multimedia experience that allows you to trigger multimedia content based on your context, such as physical locations. Although we believe that some similar concepts have been proposed in piecemeal here and there before, Mediascapes offers the user some totally new experiences. Want to know more details? Follow me into the world of Mediascapes.
