EVS has a large past experience in participating in several national and European programs and projects:

H2020 ARTICONF (https://articonf.eu/)) - ARTICONF addresses issues of trust, time-criticality and democratisation for a new generation of federated infrastructure, to fulfil the privacy, robustness, and autonomy related promises that proprietary social media platforms have failed to deliver so far. EVS pioneers a use case for a next generation social media network for crowd and citizen based journalism with a blockchain based reward mechanism.

H2020 5G City (https://www.5gcity.eu)/) - 5GCity will design, develop, deploy and demonstrate, in operational conditions, a distributed cloud and radio platform for municipalities and infrastructure owners acting as 5G neutral hosts. EVS participates in 5G City driving a use case for an ecosystem of crowdstreaming in live events and deploying it in Barcelona and Bristol.

H2020 SWITCH (www.switchproject.eu)/) - The SWITCH project aims at improving the existing development and execution model of time critical applications by introducing a novel conceptual model, in which application QoS/QoE, together with the programmability and controllability of the Cloud environments, can be all included in the complete lifecycle of applications. EVS led a use case that uses the SWITCH environment to develop, deploy and run a time-critical television virtual broadcasting studio.

H2020 DATACLOUD The overall vision of the DataCloud project is the creation of a novel paradigm for Big Data pipeline processing over heterogeneous resources encompassing the Cloud/Edge/Fog Computing Continuum Computing Continuum, covering the complete lifecycle of managing Big Data pipelines

H2020 XRECO: XRECO will create a new data-driven ecosystem for the media industry, focusing on facilitating data sharing, search and discovery and supporting creation of news and entertainment content, in particular, the creation and (re-)use of location-related 2D and 3D assets and the creation of XR experiences.

H2020 SCENE: SCENE will develop a wide set of cuttingedge technologies & services that are able to cover the whole pipeline of the film-making industry

EUROSTARS VALENCE: The VALENCE project will create a novel technology-based system that will support advertising in a new and more effective way. We will use networking technology to detect user’s location, and for the first time, be able to stream NIVA adverts (Native In-Video Advertising material) that reinforces or is appropriate to the location. EVS participated in the project by developing a cloud based video delivery platform of contextualized NIVA enabled videos for the advertising market.

EUROSTARS VAPOR360: Video media formats are always evolving in the search for higher realism. Media is often financed from advertisements, but usual ad breaks do not lend themselves to 360 video. The projects innovate by using their in-video placement technology and apply it to realistically place advertising objects within 360 video. They will also research odour association for improved product placement and novel experiences. EVS participated in the project by developing tools for delievery of contextualized VR native product placement powered by odours.
