Objectives
The main objective of this Integrated Project (IP) IMMERSENCE is to enable highly realistic multi-modal interactive immersion into virtual and augmented reality environments. Its focus will be on visual, haptic and auditive sensory components, while addressing an even broader range of human senses. While aiming at full multimodal feedback of all relevant information, the project will focus on hand-based (i.e. manual) tasks when dealing with interaction, in order to keep the related problems tractable within the frames of a single integrated project. For the same reasons we will not cover all facets of information exchange which can emerge in an interactive situation, especially semantics related issues such as verbal communication will be ignored, while explicitly addressing emotional aspects. Haptic enhancement of the multimodal environment will be a special focus of the project.
