Prof. Davis' work is focused on creating the technology and applications that will enable daily media consumers
to become daily media producers. His research and teaching encompass the theory, design, and development of
digital media systems for creating and using media metadata to automate media production and reuse. He and
his student teams in Garage Cinema Research are working on: Active Capture systems which automate direction
and cinematography using real-time audio-video analysis in an interactive control loop to create annotated
reusable media assets; Media Streams which provides a framework for creating metadata throughout the media
production cycle to make media assets searchable and reusable; and Adaptive Media which include adaptive
media templates and automatic editing functions that mass customize media and thereby eliminate the need
for editing on the part of end users. Together, these technologies will automate, personalize, and speed
up media production, distribution, and reuse, bringing about a "Garage Cinema" revolution in which people
use motion pictures to communicate with each other every day.
