Abstract :
We present the case for using adaptable protocols geared towards human requirements in the delivery of distributed multimedia. We have implemented a proof-of-concept application-a distributed MPEG player-through which multimedia clips can be transmitted over computer networks using a protocol expressly configured for improved user perceptual delivery. We have thus a user-oriented communication protocol, radically different in concept to legacy protocols which do not take user perceptual considerations into account
