Can you see the future? Perhaps not, if you’re looking through the 5-inch screen of a phone. But it’s out there, and it’s coming. A future without bezels, or blinders. Without horizons, continents, or seas between us.

A film? Is it blended, like your favorite smoothie? To us, it’s not about what you call it. It’s about how it feels. Read more from the Playbook crew here: https://lnkd.in/gnbw2Jj9

Hi Jörg! Great seeing you again, my friend. The IBC in Amsterdam was brimming with interesting finds this year, and I was inspired to get back to our conversation. 🇳🇱 One observation from the show floor to share... 🎙️ Who Said What Now? Did you happen to catch Fraunhofer’s Content Verification Tools for Audio Manipulation? #ContentVerificationToolbox It makes sense that these trust-ensuring technologies will become standard in content production for broadcast, and perhaps there will be a heartbeat-style sync/check embedded on listener platforms if a fresh analysis is not yet quick enough. Fraunhofer IDMT ⏭️ One thing I’m interested in exploring... 🌍↔️🌎 Immersion in Synchronized Real World Environments Ultra Low Latency Audio (& video, light, and media) for live performances. The use case is audiences in different locations engaging in shared immersive experiences. #accelerators2024 #ULLAVLM #Collaboration  d&b audiotechnik | Neutral Wireless ⏮️ Callback... Your post on #spatialsound design from June, including the idea of ‘Spounds’, struck a visceral chord with me. Pushing the boundaries and crafting new auditory experiences, or just getting deeper into topics like harmonic synching in immersive spaces, is both geeky and inspiring! I’m imagining the functionality & UI being added to a well-respected plugin, oder? Where did you demonstrate this? 🎹 New recommendation for you - The Sun In A Box, Max Cooper Shout-out to the Immersive Storytellers pioneering new techniques to engage listeners.

To support the Creative Pact for Skills also known as the Large-Scale Partnership (LSP), in the running of its assembly and working groups.  2. To initiate Local Ecosystem Partnerships (LEPs) putting creative skills development firmly on the agenda at regional level specifically in Italy, Upper-Austria, Amsterdam and Prague.  3. Increasing data intelligence on upskilling and reskilling within the CCSI and collaborating with the CYANOTYPES project.  4. Exploring the potential of micro-credentials and new learning pathways to support CCSI stakeholders.  5. CoordinatingCo-ordinating Creative Skills Week 2024 (Amsterdam) and Creative Skills Week 2025 (Prague) – curating the main programme and accompanying satellite events.     Preparations are already underway for Creatives Skills Week 2024 and dates will be announced soon. There will be plenty of opportunities to join interactive workshops, plenary sessions, networking moments and a whole lot more. More details to follow shortly.     The SACCORD consortium is made up of eight partners based around Europe, these include: CreativeFED (EFCE), Materahub, HKU, ELIA, BEDA - The Bureau of European Design Associations, CREARE, Federatie Creatieve Industrie, and us from Creative Prague.    Subscribe to the Creative Skills Week mailing list for more information on SACCORD activities and updates: https://shorturl.at/sDKX2 _______  SACCORD is funded by the Erasmus + programme of the European Union.
