STAGE
THE PROJECT
STAGE designs, develops and trials an ICT platform that provides audio-visual services for elderly people who can enjoy cultural events even in case they have mobility problems. Users of the platform are
- cultural institutions (CI) from CY, IT and HU who provide content to the platforma in the form of live events or recorded videos
- a sample of elderly people from the same countries who access the content provided by the CIs
The results of the project are expected to enable a European-wide (at least) service targeting elderly people.
FUNCTIONALITY
The STAGE platform offers the following functionalities:
- Video upload and publication. CIs can offer videos with a Creative Commons or Copyright licence. End users access the content and may be required to pay for it depending on the CI’s decision
- Live event creation and publication. CIs can create live events and offer them for free or at a cost. Live events can be recorded and join the pool of videos managed by the CI
- Scheduled service creation and publication. CIs can created TV-like schedules of videos and events. End users can “tune-in” a channel of a CI and watch “TV on the web” with the same user experience as in traditional television
- Content market. CIs can post some of their content for other CIs to acquire and re-use. Of course use of content is regulated by a licence that includes the way the licensor is remunerated when a licensee gets a benefit from the licensed content.
