BBC R&D have been developing technology which allows stories to be adapted, a bit like a storyteller around a campfire.
Imagine
A podcast which fits with your morning commute
Audio that challenges the listener based on their music tastes
Video which avoids inappropriate content depending on the age of the audience
Video which adapts depending on who is watching, and where they are
We call this Object-Based media, and it is a true synergy of the internet, storytelling, and media.
BBC R&D's senior firestarter Ian Forrester will introduce the endless possibilities for producers, artists, and creators; the R&D team are excited by the potential for this new tool and want to offer it freely to everyone, using open technology.

3. Media + Metadata = Objects

The idea behind ‘object-based’ media is that you take all the
assets for a given TV or radio show – the video clips, the
accompanying audio, any music soundtrack, and extras like
subtitles and sign language translations
wrap it up in useful metadata and then use software to ‘remix’
it as needed
4. Connected Britain speech
We’ve pioneered a concept called object-based broadcasting.
It’s all about Breaking down the individual parts of a
production - like graphics, sound and even the presenters -
and treating them as separate objects the moment they’re
captured or created

12. Media with more potential
This opens up huge possibilities for new forms of content
because once you have these objects, you can do so much
more with them
