What ? The long-term objective of SIMILAR is to merge European research in the human-machine interface field into a single European taskforce. The immediate objectives are: • to integrate the traditionally separated research communities in visual interaction, interactive speech, interactive haptics, learning, and human-computer interaction (HCI) across Europe; • to integrate national and regional research communities in a larger community; • to promote standards, solutions and dissemination of knowledge and • to eventually lead to the establishment of a single ‘European virtual research centre in multimodal interaction’ with strong industrial support.
How ? • SIMILARnet ( accessible at www.similar.cc ) is a multimodal, multimedia web virtual private network and web portal; it is based on the i-portal tool from our partner Computerland (Belgium). • A joint program of research activities with 6 SIGs (Special Interest Groups) : • SIG on Information theory • SIG on Context-Aware Adaptation • SIG on Multimodality Analysis and Synthesis • SIG on Medical applications • SIG on Disabled applications • SIG on edutainment and learning assistance • Integrating activities such as PhD exchanges, summer schools and troubadours. • Disseminating activities such as seminars, conferences, books, open house days and a software contest.
