| Goal |
| Systema Technologies aims at providing solutions for nomadic and home information access and delivery, especially for health, education and culture applications, setting and adopting the state-of-the-art and beyond of pertinent systems. Based on the company’s background knowledge and experience, a potential convergence of A/V technologies and user-centred content authoring and provision in the near future would result in considerable added value from future products and services in this value chain. |

| Experience/Expertise |
Systema Technologies installs and delivers interactive TV services to hotels and large accommodation installations in Greece and provides systems and applications for personal and group protection. The company is an authorized reseller and systems integrator for the following companies:
- TELESTE [Telecommunications equipment]
- Apollo/ Crosspoint [Access Control]
- Univel/ Securiton [Intrusion Alarm]
- Ernitec, Teleste [CCTV]
- Securiton [Fire Alarm]
At the same time, our research experience in highly challenging audiovisual applications for the disabled has taught us to give the outmost care to the end users learning needs and demands. Systema Technologies has developed a prominent new location awareness technology (GIM) for location detection in a restricted space through polling of the available Wi-Fi access points. It is our intention to merge GIM with mobile A/V streaming in order to design and develop a location-sensitive federated network of information provision for largely populated spaces such as museums, hospitals, exhibition sites, etc. |

PlayMancer |
Expected at: 2011 |
|
PlayMancerintegrates a development platform, based on the Unity© games engine, with tools and mechanisms that allow interoperable binding, inclusion and access of existing, emerging and new multi-modal I/O devices. PlayMancer evaluation objectives include recording of interaction data aiming at making them available on a readable and standardized manner, thus enabling Health Care therapists to evaluate and better understand the status and evolution of the patients.

MoveON |
Expected at: 2010 |
|
MOVE-ON addresses the development of a multi-modal and multi-sensor helmet for motorcycle drivers. The project is aiming to produce an interface system adaptable to commercial motorcycle helmets plus to design a custom motorcycle helmet to ergonomically integrate the MoveOn environment. The project has been launched on November 1st 2006.

HUMODAN |
Date of Release: 2005 |
|
HUMODAN aims at designing, developing and setting up an innovative system for automatic recognition and animation of human motion in controlled environments. An example of application of such a system is to animate easily and realistically a virtual performer in a TV set starting from recorded images of a real player. Further applications like virtual reality immersive collaboration environments and real time immersive storytelling will also be investigated. Medical issues are also interesting in the project.

IMUTUS |
Date of Release: 2005 |
|
IMUTUS is an interactive music tuition multimedia system for training users on traditional instruments, which do not possess a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) output. Systema Technologies has developed a VR interface to view and control traditional musical instruments; the practicing environment is complemented by a 3D fingering viewer that is able to render fully navigable and dynamically created animations of a realistic model of the recorder and hands for any music piece, also providing the option to include suggested viewpoints and textual comments at predefined times.

SYNENNOISI |
Date of Release: 2005 |
|
SYNENNOISI is an educational platform integrating electronic linguistic resources of the Greek Sign Language (GSL), along with 3-D avatar and animation technologies in order to provide the means to construct and maintain educational material in GSL. The platform addresses to the deaf population in order to cover the presently enormous needs in respect to educational means and material as far as this specific group is concerned. A second user group the platform is addressed to, is the one of hearing learners of GSL as a second language.

LAB@FUTURE |
Date of Release: 2005 |
|
LAB@FUTURE demonstrates the pedagogical theories of social constructivism, in combination and dialogue with the activity theory, focusing on expansive learning, within a mixed and augmented realities set-up. In the existing experiments of Fluid Dynamics, 3D Geometry, Environmental awareness, and Historical Educational walks, there are real objects that the teacher or student are able to interact with (e.g. PLC controlled torques), using special interface devices (in VR) or mobile devices for collaboration between distant places (e.g. between a school and a museum), in order to specify or carry out an experiment. Moreover, there are cases where real physical geometric objects are superimposed with virtual extensions to set, view and resolve mathematic exercises.
