CrestMuse Symposium 2008
招待講演 Antonio Camurri


EyesWeb XMI (eXtended Multimodal Interaction)


EyesWeb refers both to the research projects of InfoMus Lab on multimodal interactive systems and expressive gesture, and to the open software platform to support the development of real-time multimodal distributed interactive applications. The EyesWeb project started in 1997, as a natural evolution of the HARP Project (see www.infomus.org). The current release of the open software platform is EyesWeb XMI (eXtended Multimodal Interaction). With respect to its predecessors, EyesWeb XMI better support the real-time analysis and processing of synchronized streams at different sampling rates (e.g., audio, video, data from sensors). Extraction of expressive descriptors of human movement and gesture and models for navigating physical and expressive spaces are supported in the EyesWeb Expressive Gesture Processing Library. EyesWeb is adopted in several EU IST ICT research projects, in university and industry research projects. EyesWeb XMI can be freely downloaded from www.eyesweb.org.
The seminar also includes the presentation of short examples from research projects on active music listening (EU ICT Project SAME www.sameproject.eu), on therapy and rehabilitation, on interactive museum applications, and on music theatre.
