Abstract
With the rapid availability of 802.1 lb networks that provide high bandwidth, mobile Internet connectivity, we become able to research context-aware mobile cinema. M-Studio is a multimedia authoring tool that helps mobile story creators design location and time sensitive stories in the prototype as well as the production phases. These stories are created to be viewed on handheld computers, such as Compaq iPAWQ. M-Studio includes a Storyboard to allow authors to layout story scenes, and a Story Simulator to allow authors to play back all possible viewer paths of these multithreaded location-aware movies. M-Studio was evaluated though its use in the realization of location-aware video fiction story, "Another Alice." Based on the requirements of this mobile entertainment movie prototype, we have modeled and extensible architecture in which the M-Studio tools produce the instruction set for the run-time movie. The tool-set continues to be tested and evolve based on new production concepts.
