A Multi-modal Attention System for Smart Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Focusing their attention to the most relevant information is a fundamental biological concept, which allows humans to (re-)act rapidly and safely in complex and unfamiliar environments. This principle has successfully been adopted for technical systems where sensory stimuli need to be processed in an efficient and robust way. In this paper a multi-modal attention system for smart environments is described that explicitly respects efficiency and robustness aspects already by its architecture. The system facilitates unconstrained human-machine interaction by integrating multiple sensory information of different modalities.

How to Address Smart Homes with a Social Robot? A Multi-modal Corpus of User Interactions with an Intelligent Environment
In order to explore intuitive verbal and non-verbal interfaces in smart environments we recorded user interactions with an intelligent apartment. Besides offering various interactive capabilities itself, the apartment is also inhabited by a social robot that is available as a humanoid interface. This paper presents a multi-modal corpus that contains goal-directed actions of naive users in attem...
متن کاملTowards Simulating Humans in Augmented Multi-party Interaction
Human-computer interaction requires modeling of the user. A user profile typically contains preferences, interests, characteristics, and interaction behavior. However, in its multimodal interaction with a smart environment the user displays characteristics that show how the user, not necessarily consciously, verbally and nonverbally provides the smart environment with useful input and feedback....
متن کاملInteractive Realities: A Tutorial on Multi-Modal, Collaborative Virtual Reality
In the field of virtual reality, there is much attention to the notion of multi-modal environments. These environments use various senses of the human body to achieve an overall immersion in the environment leading to an increased sense of presence. In addition, there is much work in collaborative architectures allowing users to interact with each other and the world itself. This tutorial intro...
