Using IMR, <em>Lost in Time<\/em> follows three contestants as they are transported to different historical eras, including the Wild West, Ice Age, Medieval Age and the Jurassic Period, where they compete against the clock in a series of epic challenges before going head-to-head in a futuristic end-game to win a jackpot prize and be crowned Champion. Using a smartphone or tablet app, viewers can be immersed in\u00a0<em>Lost in Time<\/em> and play along in real-time or off the air. They can win prizes at home, competing against both show contestants and others from across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Al Jarmen, the director of Dubai Television, said, \u201cWe have great confidence in the success of <em>Lost in Time<\/em>, the first collaboration and partnership between Dubai Television, FremantleMedia International and The Future Group. The new program is the first of its kind in the Arab world as it combines interactive mixed-reality technology and allows the audience to interact with the program via the dedicated smartphones and tablet app.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anahita Kheder, the senior VP of the Middle East, Africa and Southeastern Europe for FremantleMedia International, commented,\u00a0\u201cFremantleMedia is always on the lookout for new ways to tell a story, and <em>Lost in Time<\/em> is a completely new type of TV entertainment. Hugely ambitious and disruptive, <em>Lost in Time<\/em>\u2019s immersive technology has global appeal. We are very excited to be working with Dubai TV to bring this loud and buzzy format to the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Future Group&#8217;s CEO and co-founder, B\u00e5rd Anders Kasin, and deputy CEO, board member and co-founder, Jens Petter H\u00f8ili, remarked,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic that <em>Lost in Time<\/em> finds its first home outside of Norway in such a\u00a0populous region, and the deal with Dubai TV represents an international breakthrough for\u00a0The Future Group. The show and concept is made possible by our proprietary technology\u00a0and creative team. We look forward to creating new games and adding new features to the\u00a0apps for this exciting multi-territorial production.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FremantleMedia International (FMI) has inked a deal with Dubai TV that marks the first global commission of the Interactive Mixed Reality (IMR) format Lost in Time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":5947,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1198,129,767,1199],"class_list":["post-5946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dubai-tv","tag-fremantlemedia-international","tag-lost-in-time","tag-the-future-group","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>FMI Sends Lost in Time to the Middle East - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"FMI Sends Lost in Time to the Middle East - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"FremantleMedia International (FMI) has inked a deal with Dubai TV that marks the first global commission of the Interactive Mixed Reality (IMR) format Lost in Time.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-10-23T16:27:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-10-23T17:10:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2017\/07\/Lost-in-Time-FREMANTLEMEDIA-417.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"281\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/\",\"name\":\"FMI Sends Lost in Time to the Middle East - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-10-23T16:27:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-10-23T17:10:59+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/fmi-sends-lost-in-time-to-the-middle-east\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"FMI Sends Lost in Time to the Middle East\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
