Opportunistic Collaborative Mobile-Based Multimedia Authoring Based on the Capture of Live Experiences

Despite recent results allowing collaborative video capture using mobile devices, there is a gap in promoting collaborative capture of media other than video. In this paper we report our collaborative model supporting amateur and opportunistic collaborative recording of multiple media using mobile devices. We present a case study carried out in the educational domain. We include a motivating scenario and related requirements, our proposed architecture and associated proof-of-concept prototype for supporting mobile amateur collaborative recording.
