Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction.

We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future.

For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting.

We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings.

5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more!

We do all of this to bring audiences new, immersive and accessible experiences.

We also look at how technology can help the production process. We prototype and test new tools, create datasets, open-source our work, work with partners in the industry and publish our research so that everyone can benefit.

Find out more about all this on our website bbc.co.uk/rd

We’re now exploring Mastodon, so please follow us - we’ll update you with what we are working on in our labs.

@BBCRD
A few snags when attempting to follow.

First, my instance couldn’t find your account/homepage except as a webpage. That seemed to resolve without intervention over a few days.

Then I attempted to [follow]: searched for the home page, found; tapping the [follow] button resulted in [following]. Yet I see no posts in my t/l. Upon checking I now see [requested] on the account’s home page follow button.

Any thoughts for an explanation?
Do you need to confirm follows?
