COMPEIT is a 3-year EU 7th framework project and focuses on a web-based system for highly interactive, personalised, shared media experiences by developing technologies that A) enrich social connections, B) improve the feeling of being together in one shared space and C) enhance collaboration whilst being separated in time or space. COMPEIT takes the view that Internet-based distribution will transform traditional broadcasting towards higher levels of interactivity and integration with virtual and augmented reality, enabled by advanced web technologies and the proliferation of tangible devices. The project addresses Quality of Experience as a key variable in the experience of media production and consumption systems.

A first mock-up of the COMPEIT system has been put together. It illustrates technical components from WP 4 (Mediated Presence Components); services from WP 5 (New Media Services); and D3.2 Initial System Specification. It informs further research towards D3.4 First Prototype.
