During the project (M1-M42) MindSpaces achieved all the objectives and reached all milestones set for this reporting period. The user requirements in interior design and in urban scale were defined (MS1), based on which the technical specifications have been set and the toolset architecture has been designed. This architecture was realised by an operational prototype (MS2), which integrated the skeleton versions of the research modules, and served as the basis towards the first prototype (MS3). In MS4 and MS5, we have worked on creating technologies, which targeted PUC in more detail, maintaining a backbone that could support all the services and components. A set of tools and services has been developed for this scope. In MS4, the 2nd version of the MindSpaces toolkit integrated the basic techniques for: a) Instant cities (latent space explorer), b) Computational Design Tool (PUC1), c) ABPS Tools (PUC2), d) Visual Sentiment analysis Tool (PUC2), e) VR tool (PUC2), f) Imageability mobile app (MentalSpaces app), g) Multimodal fusion of sentiment analysis (PUC2), h) Behavioural analysis service (Dialog - Refik Anadol, Maurice Benayoun), i) Emotional and Behavioral Analysis Service. Moreover, an updated standardisation and dissemination report was also performed, an updated data management and self-assessment report and the and the evaluation of the 2nd prototype were also successfully performed. In MS5, the final modules and tools were delivered with the final system and its evaluation, the final activity report and self-assessment, the final dissemination report, the final exploitation report and roadmap to market and the ethics report.
Finally, 37 scientific publications and 2 media publications were published and 9 workshops have been organised, with an average of 25 participants each. The website and the social media managed to increase their audience and usage statistics, which indicated that our online dissemination strategy has proven successful. The website had 25196 visits by 10,06 users with a total amount of 13907 Sessions (2019 - 2022). 15 news items have been published in the final year of the project, 3 Ars Electronica Gardens and 1 big Symposium have been successfully organised, and 2 exhibitions have been curated. MindSpaces continued the close collaboration with artists and user groups (12 users by request, 17 users contacted from partners, 68 users under contact from various domains, as their feedback proved valuable for development of the toolkit and the successful future exploitation of project results.
