INTERFACE

The project will define new models and will implement advanced tools for audio-video analysis, synthesis and representation in order to provide essential technologies for the implementation of large-scale virtual and augmented environments.The metaphor, which will inspire the project approach, is oriented to make man-machine interaction as natural as possible, based on everyday human communication means like speech, facial expressions and body gestures from both sides. A case study application on Internet will be developed and demonstrated.
