Ian Forrester from BBC R&D discusses the potential of perceptive and responsive media objects that can tell stories. He explains how objects can make up a narrative and how storytelling has always been participatory in nature. Forrester also touches on the possibilities of personalized media experiences that adapt to individuals and the importance of data ethics research regarding privacy, security and trust as media becomes more interactive.
