Applications on the Move
 
Goal
Systema Technologies aims at providing innovative solutions for communication and safety applications involving information access and delivery in mobile contexts, such as motorcycles and cars. Synergy of innovative modalities such as head nods and/or 3D display technologies with speech and tactile input is highly sought for our future applications, so as to design and develop efficient and safe human-device interfaces for use in eyes-busy and hands-busy settings.
 
Experience/Expertise
Systema Technology has been experimented with new interface technologies and innovative modalities for many years since 1994. From the first days of the company when 3D display technologies have been in its focus until today, the company has designed and developed many bespoke applications that exploit innovative aspects of Human Computer Interaction. Recently the focus of the company’s research was broadened so as to include automotive applications for safer and more effective use of digital appliances, such as navigation devices, audio-visual players, display panels, etc.
 
Showcases
Among the 3-D/ VR showcases of our company, the following ones represent the most technologically advanced in the area:
 

UMSIC

 Expected at: 2011

 

UMSICis an ubiquitous project expected to provide sound synthesis, sampling, sequencing and touch-screen virtual musical instruments in an educative form for children in different age groups and learners with specific needs. It aims at providing children with a new means of pursuing musical creativity, social cohesion and emotional self-regulation, which may significantly enhance social inclusion.

MoveON

 Expected at: 2008

 

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.
