From July 3rd to July 9th

Point to point (2 people max involved)

Users should get the sensation that they’re working in the same room (VR environment is a plus)

Less than 50ms delay

Should run without any expensive gear

Built in dictaphone that records the whole session and buffers the last minutes (the user can set the size of the buffer) with the possibility to save a good idea just by clicking instantly, creating a list of the saved ideas (“Heard application”).

Send HD audio stream from the DAW

Being able to choose to send mono or stereo (to minimize delay) and pick the sound quality of what we send

Record artist’s audio in to remote DAW

Lyrics writing with a shared and editable document

Over the net

The experience must be voice first (it must work on a device such as Amazon Echo Dot or Google Home)

You can rely on screens to bring additional information for the end user

You can choose whether you’re focusing on beginners or experienced musicians / singers

Make sure the experience respects music copyrights and be able to explain what are the copyrights models related to your solutions

Relevant metadata usage across the entire value chain will be a key to success

The value proposition should be different from what incumbent streaming services are currently offering; for example if your hack generates playlists, they must not be generic, but creative and differentiated and most importantly a great experience for the listener

You must avoid the “filter bubble effect”, and bring new content to users which they haven’t discovered before

The experience must be voice first (it must work on a device such as Amazon Echo Dot or Google Home)

You can rely on screens to bring additional information for the end user

Make sure the experience respects music copyrights and be able to explain what the copyright models related to your solutions are

This challenge its hosted by RTBF. Today, many people with disabilities play video games but the hardware available to them is rarely adapted. The objective would be to design a system that allows players, whatever their disability, to enjoy the video game experience 100%. A modular system of controller / input that can be adapted to any player independently and can be used on all platforms (PS4 / XBOX / PC / Mobile / Switch). The goal is to allow the person with a light or heavy disability to enjoy the game, 100% and alone.

in our gaming productions, the capture of the video stream of multiple stations in 120fps is not effective, we use to work with ndi scan converter or the obs window sniffer + obs-ndi plugin, we are very quickly limited to a very limited number of computers on a 1gb network. Hardware solutions have also proved inconclusive with the decimator+blackmagic card for framerates and additional latency that confuse the gameplay. Most of times, 4 screens on the air simultaneously is our maximum needs and it's quite frustrating to see all the performance crashing down when you increase the number of computers. A solution that activates on-demand the ndi stream could solve this problem in a 1gb/s network. assuming that we can wait a few frames when aking for the view of a particular computer in the network.

Esport event organizers are lacking POV (Point of View Camera) camera on mobile game championship, giving them the ability to see the player’s attitude during the action. Using internal mobile phone camera is not efficient as it is subject to a lot of movements and framing is not consistent. Challenge: Create a solution that could solve the problem listed above and could be deployed at scale. Pools phases can group a large number of players in the same venue. A solution that could also measure level of stress or how much players are focused, would be valuable

Problem: On video streaming platform such as Twitch or YouTube Gaming, you can watch pro or very experienced players playing live, they are called streamers. Viewers are watching those streamers to learn about their skills and hear about their comments. Some streamer are very popular and can generate enough revenue to make their living (e.g. Gotaga with 1 939 905 followers). Their live production kit is very often basic.

Players retention in VR centers is a key performance factor since returning players already have some experience playing the games. E-Sport can increase players retention through different ways including motivation to train, improuving performances and measuring players against each other in competitions Help VR centers explore them to ensure players will come back, while taking into account the importance of the social dimension of VR centers (people come and play with friends, family and colleagues).
