Converging User-Generated Material with Professional Video User Experiences

Abstract

This multidisciplinary workshop will contribute to a user experience (UX) research agenda for the effective combination of audiovisual material from professional and non-professional contributors. Responding to trends in developing technology and in user behaviour, the workshop will investigate a specific range of themes, deeper knowledge of which will support more coherent, higher quality integration of the creative efforts of non-professional contributors with those of professionals. The overall aim is to equip professional producers with the means to support and develop their contributors to be successful in providing material, and, therefore, optimise viewers' quality of experience when watching mixed-origin content.
