23 januari: X-Media Club in de HvA

De multimedia huiskamer: professionals over mediaconvergentie, laidback interaction en de rol van de gebruiker.

IPTV, P2P TV, VoD, Time-Shifting, EPG, Delay TV, PVR, Streaming, Pod/Vodcasting, Media Centers, TV to go, allemaal nieuwe (voor velen nog onbekende) ontwikkelingen op mediagebied.

Hoe gaan al deze ontwikkelingen ons leven in de huiskamer veranderen?

Met ondermeer Paul Naber (Director Home & Entertainment Division Microsoft), Krijn Schuurman (trendwatcher), Johan Pouwelse (onderzoeker peer 2 peer aan de TU Delft) en Monique de Haas (Dondersteen Media) gaan wij op zoek naar het antwoord!

Dit is voor jou dé kans om up-to-date te blijven van de nieuwste ontwikkelingen. Tegelijkertijd hopen wij ook op jouw input: hoe denk jíj over al deze zaken?
