Objective One of the many challenges people with various degrees of disabilities face (visually or hearing impaired) is their inability and difficulty to access mainstream products and services thus being excluded from enjoying audio-visual services on an equal basis as people without disabilities. Marginalising people with disabilities on this level is a critical and problematic issue, especially in today’s “Information Society”, where access to information should be freely available to all, in order for each individual to be able to reach his/her maximum potential, personally, professionally and socially. While these challenges have been identified, they have not been addressed yet efficiently since existing solutions still inherit characteristics of the analogue TV or just focus on traditional TV viewing.In this context, the EasyTV system aims not only to ease the access to multimedia services, by offering novel media delivery mechanisms but also to move one step further, by enhancing interaction based on a multi-language approach, and adapt it to the user’s preferences providing personalised content in a integrated single multiterminal platform. Specifically EasyTV will be based on four pillars:a) Improved access services for enhanced multimedia visual and sound experience for people with disabilities. b) Improved personalisation of the content experiencing and interaction, towards a hyper-personalised experience to all.c) Novel technologies to break the sign language barrier (based on crowdsourcing techniques).d) Improvement and development of voice and gesture/gaze recognition to control the TV set and TV applications (e.g. eye movement or head movement) in the form of a universal remote control.Different testing with users will establish a close cooperation by exchanging experiences among the different partners and user groups, in order to enhance the whole evaluation and validation process of the EasyTV technology Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesknowledge engineeringontologyengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemshumanitieslanguages and literaturelinguisticssign languagesocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementcommercee-commercesocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementbusiness models Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme Topic(s) ICT-19-2017 - Media and content convergence Call for proposal H2020-ICT-2016-2017 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-ICT-2016-2 Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID Net EU contribution € 592 625,00 Address CALLE RAMIRO DE MAEZTU 7 EDIFICIO RECTORADO 28040 Madrid Spain See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 592 625,00 Participants (8) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all ENGINEERING - INGEGNERIA INFORMATICA SPA Italy Net EU contribution € 480 812,50 Address PIAZZALE DELL'AGRICOLTURA 24 00144 ROMA See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 686 875,00 ETHNIKO KENTRO EREVNAS KAI TECHNOLOGIKIS ANAPTYXIS Greece Net EU contribution € 599 875,00 Address CHARILAOU THERMI ROAD 6 KM 57001 Thermi Thessaloniki See on map Region Βόρεια Ελλάδα Κεντρική Μακεδονία Θεσσαλονίκη Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 599 875,00 MEDIAVOICE SRL Italy Net EU contribution € 399 875,00 Address VIA SANTE BARGELLINI 4 00157 ROMA See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
