Delivering a live remote audience for broadcast video production

在目前的疫情限制下，演播室观众面前的电视直播制作已完全停止。我们的娱乐业需要一种方法来让观众重新融入其中，重新充分发挥作用。这项建议提供了一个解决方案，让观众重新感受到人类的欢呼、笑声、呻吟，甚至质问。我们想展示一个远程的现场观众在真实的时间内对数十万人观看的大型电子竞技直播的反应。这将是一个测试案例，将证明什么是可能的，为所有类型的电视制作人。利用现有的Weavr未来的观众项目，我们将开发和提供一个移动的应用程序，这是一个定制的工具，用于创建观众参与流回到演播室。这些将通过一个基于服务器的工具，用于调节和合成这些观众的意见，适合于专业广播，这也是本项目的一部分。其输出将符合广播行业标准，也适用于基于虚拟演播室的工具。这个解决方案完全是对现有Weavr项目的补充，但如果没有强大的基础、技术和关系，就不可能实现。Weavr的其他联盟成员非常希望将其纳入该计划，因为他们已经失去了现场活动观众。该项目将于10月底在ESLOne汉堡锦标赛上进行现场试用。一旦完成，我们希望迅速开放的结果，以其他生产公司，让现场电视观众回到生产。我们希望全国人民在对我们的文化如此重要的小组节目、智力竞赛节目和体育赛事中欢笑和欢呼。

Live TV production in front of a studio audience has come to a complete stop under the current pandemic restrictions. This vital element of our entertainment industries needs a way to bring audiences back into the mix to get fully going again.This proposal offers a solution to bring human cheers, laughter, groans and even heckling back to viewers. We want to demonstrate a remote live audience reacting in real time to a major live esports broadcast being watched by hundreds of thousands of people. This will be a test case that will prove what's possible for TV producers of all kinds.Leveraging the existing Weavr Audience of the Future project, we will develop and deliver a mobile app which is a customised tool for creating audience participation streams back to the studio. These will go via a server based tool for moderating and compositing these into audience views appropriate for a professional broadcast which is also developed as part of this project. The outputs will be to broadcast industry standards and also suitable for virtual studio based tools. This solution is entirely additive to the existing Weavr programme but wouldn't be possible without its strong foundation, technology and relationships. The other consortium members of Weavr are very keen to include this in the programme as they have lost their live event audience.The project will run as a live trial at the ESLOne Hamburg tournament in late October. Once that's complete, we want to rapidly open up the results to other production companies to get live TV audiences back into productions. We want the country laughing and cheering live with the panel shows, quiz shows and sports events that are so important to our culture.
