The proposed platform aims to develop an intelligent cross-media platform for personalised leisure and entertainment in thematic parks or venues. The system we develop allows the visitor to be the real protagonist in the venue. The platform caters for a great variety of media needs of the visitors: from recording their visit to provide a high-quality, customised souvenir, to embedding personalised electronic content into their activities in real time. The platform incorporates new and innovative solutions that cover and improve digital content acquisition and creation, management and processing, access, retrieval, manipulation and delivery of digital content. The platform is equipped with innovative imaging technologies for real time detection, localisation and tracking of "human content", i.e., the human visitor within the recoding being made in real-time by the system. No constraints are imposed on the variation of the environment. (9 pages)
