Project Overview (1)• Partners :

– Co-ordinator: FT R&D;

– Contractors: Blaxxun Interactive; CSELT; T-Nova; GET; EPFL; GMD; Imperial College; INRIA; Telenor; University of Geneva; Universität Stuttgart; Siemens.

• Domain :– Virtual worlds, multi-user environments, intelligent agents,

simulation and data visualisation, e-commerce applications.

• Key data :– duration of 24 months with a budget of 632 mm.

DVB-TM 41 17/01/01

Project Overview (2)• Goal

– Investigate, develop and standardise the building blocks for the next generation of portals and demonstrate in a real-time e-commerce application how they allow a more natural access to services.

• Building blocks

– (1) Shared, dynamic and real-time virtual spaces; (2) Animation of realistic synthetic faces and bodies; (3) Software agents capturing human characteristics and learning user profiles; (4) Intuitive interfaces for navigation and interaction in information spaces; (5) Delivery of information with QoS monitoring.

• Application– E-commerce application allowing navigation in synthetic real sites populated

with shops. The user can inspect goods, communicate with virtual or real humans, and make transactions.
