Towards a Back-End Framework for Supporting Affective Avatar-Based Interaction Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Avatar-based systems provide an intuitive way of interacting with users in the context of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). These systems are typically supported by a diverse set of services for, e.g., social daily activities, leisure, education and safety. This paper studies the importance of specific services for two organizations, namely MRPS in Geneva, Switzerland and ORBIS in Sittard, Netherlands. Based on this study, we present the design of a backend framework that supports Avatar interaction by means of a comprehensive set of services for safe and independent living.

متن کاملMultifinger interaction between remote users in avatar-mediated telepresence
In avatar-mediated telepresence, remote users find it difficult to engage and maintain contact, such as a handshake, with each other without a haptic device. We address the problem of adjusting an avatar’s pose to promote multifinger contact interaction between remote users. To this end, we first construct a contact point database for nine types of contact interactions between hands through con...
