Multimedia Information Retrieval in XR
The way we create, consume and interact with multimedia content has changed significantly in recent years with the advent of affordable recording devices and easy sharing and access in the form of mobile phones. With the imminent wave of affordable devices that enable mixed reality experiences and the large variety of devices on the market, interaction with multimedia content is expected to continue to evolve rapidly. This will also drastically affect the entire area of multimedia information retrieval in eXtended Reality (XR), for instance by novel ways to express user needs in VR, result presentation that takes the specific capabilities of XR devices into account, and/or result feedback. This tutorial on Multimedia Retrieval in XR discusses and demonstrates existing solutions and highlights key challenges in this evolving field.
