Authoring 744: writing descriptions to create content

This article introduces the first results of the Authoring 744 research initiative, which uses MPEG-7 to synthesize content instead of analyzing it. Authoring 744 aims to develop a prototype system that creates audio-visual content through writing scripts and descriptions in a user-friendly GUI. By script writing we mean completing forms and choosing some media description examples (such as a melody´s key, an object´s shape and texture or its trajectory within the scene, and a region´s dominant color).
