Multimodal Interfaces for capturing and transfer of skill

Description du projet

Multimodal Interfaces

The SKILLS proposal deals with the acquisition, storing and transfer of human skill by means of multimodal interfaces, Virtual Environments technologies and Interaction Design methodologies. A particular skill is difficult to be described. The modeling of a specific act of doing represents a challenge in some fields of research such as cognitive science, psychology, robotics, biomechanics and other behavior-related studies. The research in SKILLS addresses the fundamental aspects of skill analysis from a cognitive science and interaction design point of view. For specific contexts of operation, cognitive aspects of tasks executed by skilled persons are analyzed to obtain a digital representation of skill and the definition of methodologies and techniques for capturing and rendering skill. The capability of being able to acquire, storing and transfer specific skills, such as those of a craftsman or of a surgeon, into the digital domain generates more direct and intuitive paradigms of interaction with the computer and render future software applications more accessible to non-specialists. The process of acquiring and storing skill allows to create digital archives of performed acts of doing which are usually lost when the craftsman or the skilled worker loses his/her capabilities due to illness or declining of years.SKILLS considers three application domains for demonstrators: sport, surgery and manufacturing. Interaction design methodologies are implemented in order to address the design of novel interfaces focused on skill transfer and able to improve task performances or generate innovative processes. The SKILLS consortium comprises Universities and Research Centres with expertise in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Interaction Design, Virtual Environments, Augmented Realities and Robotics together with Industries representative of the above specified application domains.
