Objectives
This line of technological research attempts to develop new, multisensorial human-computer interaction interfaces, capable of understanding and interpreting the natural expressions of people. Likewise, the intention is to apply technologies of digital narration in order to develop new, three-dimensional, interactive, multilingual interfaces (avatars).
Main Results
- Scientific results:
-PhD thesis Start a PhD thesis related to the use of haptic devices in a distributed environment. A four months visit of this PhD student in the Touch Lab, MIT, Cambridge (USA).
- Material results:
-Prototype, An Haptic geometric modeller it is a C++ object-oriented toolkit with all the algorithms that allow the user to interact with any 3D virtual object providing: the haptic stimuli to be rendered by a haptic interface and sound aids and speech recognition capabilities to improve the interaction. It allows: Creation and rendering of virtual scenes; Simulation of different types of forces; Audio feedback (both speech and non-speech);Verbal commands; zoom in/out and panning. It may also be used in conjunction with different haptic devices through a new API.
