GENERAL INFORMATION

The FLAME project 3nd Open Call was officially announced at NEM Summit on 22nd/23rd May 2019 and opened on 9th August 2019. The application process closed on the 8th of November, 2019.

This call solicits for 3rd party projects to explore edge experiences considering consumer’s desire for personalised, localised and interactive media content delivered through current and emerging human-computer interfaces used in outside spaces or between outside and inside spaces. The 3rd party projects will demonstrate the utilisation and value of FLAME service design patterns for orchestrating media services. FLAME is seeking innovative use of the patterns as a key part of the evaluation criteria for proposals, whether projects are seeking incremental service delivery for today’s devices and transformative solutions based on services and devices for augmented and mixed reality.

To know more about the design patterns, please check dedicated page.

Watch the webinar to have more details about the call.
