An Authoring/Editing Framework for Haptic Broadcasting: Passive Haptic Interactions using MPEG-4 BIFS

In this paper, we propose an authoring/editing framework for haptic broadcasting that provides viewers with passive haptic interactions synchronized with audiovisual media by extending MPEG-4 BIFS (binary format for scenes). Based on this framework, we could conveniently author haptically enhanced broadcast contents and provide them to viewers by streaming via a VOD (video on demand) context. This work will also appear in the demonstration session during the conference
