First review of VICON project complete
Friday, 25 June 2010
The first (interim) review of the VICON project took place at the European Commission offices in Brussels in mid June. Josh O Connor and Antoinette Fennell of CFIT attended the review and Josh presented on the next steps that NCBI will take in the activities it is leading.
Now six months into the three year project, the initial data has been collected, through observations of people aged 65+ years using their mobile phones and washing machines.
The next step is to analyse this data and “translate” it into a format that can be used to develop the virtual user model. CFIT’s role in the project at this point is to contribute to the development of virtual humans and virtual environments – by providing real life data and specifications that make the resulting virtual model as realistic and “true to life” as possible.
Updates will be posted here on the CFIT website as the project progresses. In the meantime, further information can be found on the project website at: www.vicon-project.eu
