The objective of the SIMILAR project is to develop natural and adaptive multimodal interfaces that respond intelligently to speech and language, vision, gesture, haptics and other senses.
OpenInterface Project promises:
to ground the development of multimodal interactive systems in a scientific understanding of multimodal interaction. In our case this will be achieved through reusable software components in the platform that are directly defined from theoretical results on multimodality;
to provide a tool for implementing a truly iterative user-centred design process; and
to turn the results into industrial standards by way of the platform.
IRMA project aims at designing and developing a modular, customized, efficient, protected and economically viable interface for multimodal searching and browsing in indexed audiovisual databases. It will allow a contextual, intuitive and natural searching completed by a fluid browsing. IRMA will thus provide an environment allowing to nest the user intelligency inside the search engine.
