Augmented Reality: VicTour from YDreams YLabs

via Beyond The Beyond by Bruce Sterling on 4/15/11

*This is a typically classy, with-it YDreams production. And the writing’s great, too.

(…)

“CHAMELEON emerged from the strong belief that the research and development of next-generation intelligent interaction devices is expected to rely on integrative efforts across several research fields. The main objective of this project was therefore to explore and implement architectures and practical design methodologies for embodied intelligent interaction, with a focus on affective and cognitive computation models, as well as autonomous adaptation and learning of system components and parameters over dynamic multimodal and multi-user environments. More specifically, research focused on:

“Situated cognition and human action models to support development of natural interaction systems;

“Embodied agent architectures suitable to the scalable integration of learning and affective computing algorithms;

“Unsupervised, reinforcement and evolutionary learning techniques for autonomous agents in the context of multimodal natural interaction installations; (((every one of these talking-points would make a great T-shirt)))

“Affective computing techniques for the design of emotion-based agents capable of interacting with users in a natural and believable way;

“Data mining techniques capable of analyzing and extracting high-level interaction trends and user features to assist in the self-adaptation of interactive systems

“VicTour was created with the intention of validating the CHAMELEON project ‘s entire set of achievements…”

(((Okay, right, great, but I can’t help but wonder: is this floatie guy a robot Clippy?)))
