Welcome to the joint OpenInterface website!

It creates the link between the associated websites of the OpenInterface Platform, the OpenInterface Foundation, the OpenInterface Forge, the OpenInterface STREP. The objective of OpenInterface is to provide an open-source platform for developing interfaces that communicate intelligently through several modalities. OpenInterface focuses on human-human and human-machine natural interaction and the physical or virtual interaction environment.

Platform
Click the OpenInterface Platform to be explained about the OpenInterface concept, the logical structure of the platform, the documentation and tutorials, the installation guide as well as demonstration videos.
Foundation
Click the OpenInterface Foundation site to find the information related to the activities, the benefits, and the eligibility criteria for this international non-profit foundation membership. The foundation aims to promote European research in human-machine interaction and increase its integration between the academic and industrial domains; and to facilitate access to new interface technologies. The foundation is committed to the creation and maintenance of an open source platform for supporting research and development of solutions to problems of human-machine interaction.
Forge
Click the OpenInterface Forge site and you will be welcomed to find all software developments related to the Platform. All individual developments are organized into small projects and the site provides online tools for easy development (i.e. forum, svn access and version control, easy navigation, etc.)
Strep
Click the OpenInterface Strep site to see the official site of the project. It holds all public deliverables, related reports, specific tutorials and information about the partners as well as about related projects.

The platform tools are aimed at designing, implementing and testing natural and easy-to-use multimodal interfaces that:

  • handle a rich and extensible set of modalities,
  • enable quick replication,
  • enable a focus on innovation (new modalities or forms of multimodality),
  • support dynamic selection and combination of modalities to fit the ongoing context ofuse,
  • enable iterative user-centered design.

The idea of the open-source reusable OpenInterface platform seeks for efficient cooperation of consumers from both industry and academia.
