Associate Professor Koji Yatani of the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Engineering and Pacific League Marketing have started joint research on a baseball digest video distribution system that allows you to freely set the viewing time.With a mechanism that allows each fan to set the length of the video, it provides baseball fans with a new way of enjoying themselves.
According to the University of Tokyo, in the joint research, we will utilize the technology developed in the Yaya laboratory that enables video playback according to the viewer's desired viewing time.Research a baseball digest video generation and distribution system that allows you to freely determine the viewing time.
This technology determines the importance of a scene by analyzing video and audio, and automatically generates a video according to the time selected by the viewer.You can watch videos that meet the viewer's wishes, such as 2 minutes on the commuter train or 10 minutes during the lunch break.
In modern society, there is a strong tendency to avoid the consumption of entertainment content that takes a long time, and the length of viewing time has become a problem in professional baseball games, which often exceed 3 hours.Pacific League Marketing distributes baseball games on the Internet, but the 3-5 minute digest video has more viewers than the live broadcast.
However, since the digest video is created by the editor of the media such as a TV station by deciding the playback time and content, it could not be distributed according to the viewer's schedule and interests.
