Abstract

Recent progress of network capacity enables real-time distribution of high-quality content of multimedia contents. This paper reports on our attempt to transmit the applause and hand-clapping in music concerts. We built a system that has an efficient implementation scheme for low-delay coding of applause and hand-clapping sounds. The system relayed applause and hand-clapping by viewers back to the performance site to provide these sounds in a synthesized and simulated manner. With this system, we conducted an experimental concert using a network distributed site. We observed some interactions between the performers and the receiver site audience. Responses to our questionnaire distributed to the audience and performers also confirmed that applause and hand-clapping feedback were effective for improving the sense of unity established in live viewings.
