MMWork: Horizontal Strategic Objective To advance the science and existing

knowledge and standards in: Multi-Modal Human Computer Interfaces

(hereby known as MMHI) for Mobile Collaborative Work Services

Aim is to fit the needs of the mobile workers in a vast variety of cooperative distant work environments, ensuring safety as well as trust and secure access to such environments

MMWork: How to reach such Horizontal Strategic Objective ?

By developing a new theoretical framework based on:1. “DESIGN FOR ALL” philosophy2. Novel WORKPLACE designs 3.KEY enabling technologies breakthroughs:

I. Cooperative WorkII.Wearable Computing III.Intelligent Garments and Smart TextilesIV.Mobile computingV.Mixed Reality (Augmented Reality, Tangible Interfaces,

Virtual Reality) VI.Intelligent Mobile AgentsVII.Intelligent Fusion of Multimodal Human-Computer

Interaction (HCI): Speech Recognition and Synthesis Human Sketch Recognition Human Hand and Body Gesture Recognition Biometrics (Electrophysiological Human signals) Affective Computing

MMWork: Vertical and Interoperable Strategic Objective

Targeted Industrial Sectors Pilot Application

Sector 1: Architecture Engineering and Building Construction/Facility Management – AEC/FM

Pilot 1 - Mix4D: Mixed Reality 4D Collaborative System for Architecture and Building Construction

Sector 2: Interior Architecture Design and Furniture

Pilot 2 - IN-SPACE: INteroperable Product Data Standards and Mixed Reality for Collaborative Catalogue Design and Interior SPACE Decoration

Sector 3: Space Exploration Pilot 3 - HUMANIF: HUMAN INterFaces to Knowledge in Collaborative Space Exploration

Sector 4: Automotive Pilot 4 - CAR: Mixed Reality for Collaborative Maintainability Analysis of a CAR

Sector 5: Home Entertainment Pilot 5 – BODYGAMING: BODY Gesture and Multimdoal Interaction, in Multi-user Online GAMING

Sector 6: Aeronautics Pilot 6 - REAL-AIR: Multimodal Mixed REALity Collaborative Applications based on a Common Information System for AIRcraft operations

To choose, specify, develop and objectively evaluate the best profile of MMHI for the development of context-aware, adaptive and self-configuring collaborative mobile services in six test-beds of specific industrial sectors
