3D ANIMATION, INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS AND HCI |
| |
The aim of this area is the development of technologies related to multimodal interaction that allow the user to communicate with a device (PC, PDA, mobile phone or TV) in a way close to the communication between people, i.e., through body and verbal language. Some of the main research lines are speech technologies, face and body animation of the virtual characters, emotional interaction and natural language processing. These technologies have shown a big application-potential in areas such as education, leisure and e-inclusion. |
