Set the length and the program gets remixed to that length. Graph and story created with individual audio objects, linking relationships. Each can be labeled with characters, etc. * IRL looks like a lot of paper on a wall Example: SqueezeBox ( ) * Solves BBC World News problem of broadcasting to different countries but having to deal with filling in ad breaks that are not the same, so they needed also a variable length video generator. * Cuts up a video in different scenes, different levels of importance. * Example: C.A.K.E.(cook-along kitchen experience): object-based cooking show. "15 minute meals" can be realistically achieved. Remove ingredients you are allergic to, etc. * Example: The Mermaid's Tears: radio drama with ability to choose different characters. * Another project: ORPHEUS (Object-based audio experience). () Object-based Media Toolkit. Creating, recording, providing experience. * Question: How much can be automated? Answer: "It's… very manual." --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://textav.gitbook.io/textav-event/problem-domains/object-based-broadcasting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
