Multimodal Analysis/Synthesis System for Human Interaction
to Virtual and Augmented Environments


 
Sector: Virtual Environments and Imaging
Technical : Virtual Reality, Multimodal Interfaces, Auditory/Visual Emotion Analysis
Uses : Multimodal Web Interfaces, Shared and Augmented Environments, Telepresence

 

  Project Abstract :
 
  The project will define new models and will implement advanced tools for audio-video analysis, synthesis and representation in order to provide essential technologies for the implementation of large-scale virtual and augmented environments. The metaphor, which will inspire the project approach, is oriented to make man-machine interaction as natural as possible, based on everyday human communication means like speech, facial expressions and body gestures from both sides. A case study application on Internet will be developed and demonstrated.
