Cross-Projects Collaboration

SONICOM is part of a cross-collaboration initiative with four other research projects funded within the same call.

The FET Proactive Emerging Paradigms and Communities call subtopic, Artificial Intelligence for extended social interaction brings SONICOM together with CAROUSEL, EXPERIENCE, TOUCHLESS, and GuestXR to examine interaction technologies to enhance the social dimension for future virtual social spaces.

All five projects will aim to collaborate on activities to share best practices and state of the art technologies across all consortium partners. With the knowledge developed and disseminated throughout the projects, this collaboration will foster and maximise the potential impact of each project’s research agenda.

EXPERIENCE is focused on virtual and augmented reality and with the help of artificial intelligence.

CAROUSEL aims to develop further understanding of human body-language and the capability to interact autonomously with a group of people.

TOUCHLESS proposes innovation in haptic technologies used in virtual social interactions which could be beneficial to those who cannot fulfil their need for touch.

GUESTXR is a project creating a new machine learning agent addressing conflicts and unlocking interaction in extended reality environments.
