Abstract:
PURPOSE: A sensory effect expression method, an apparatus for the method, and a computer readable medium in which sensory device control metadata is recorded are provided to maximize the reproduction effect of media by expressing sensory effect during the reproduction. CONSTITUTION: An input unit(504) receives sensory effect metadata including sensory effect information. A control unit(506) acquires the sensory effect information by analyzing the sensory effect metadata and creates sensory device control metadata for controlling the sensory device corresponding to the sensory effect information. The sensory device performance metadata includes sensory device control technique information.
