Evaluating mobile video live broadcasting as an effective mediumfor artistic expression through dynamic image filtering

This research aims to evaluate mobile live broadcasting as an effective medium for artistic expression, through the use of real time video manipulation tools, like image filtering and visual effects. We will build a research platform to better understand the future of online real-time communications within the creative community of audiovisual artists. We ultimately want to achieve Live Video Broadcasting from and between mobile devices, as well as within the realm of live events such as concerts, brand activations and/or personal artistic expressions. Through researching and testing current available real –time broadcast technologies, designing user analytics tools, hypothesizing usage possibilities, narrowing goals and designing a prototype we hope to gain a defendable strategy for development and placement in the Real- Time Broadcasting market focused in digital video art. The benefit of the proposed research project to Generate Software Inc. is relevance through innovation in a highly competitive tech market, where digital media consumption and production is growing exponentially.
