Cooperation Opportunities in the 3D Media Field between Europe

and Colombia

This document has been prepared in the framework of the SALA3D Project, a support

action funded by the European Commission (Directorate General Information Society and

Media) under its 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development

(FP7).

SALA3D project has officially started its activities on 1st March 2010 with the main objective

to foster cooperation among researchers from Europe and Colombia and Uruguay in the

specific fields of Content aware Networks, Network aware Applications and 3D Media

Internet.

The project strategic objective is to develop research roadmaps that will attempt to

influence the Colombian and Uruguayan R&D programmes so as to include research

themes of interest of European researchers as well as to enhance participation of

Colombian and Uruguayan organisations in European programmes.

The SALA3D consortium is composed of AETIC (Asociación de Empresas de Tecnologías de

la Información y Telecomunicaciones de España), the project coordinator; CINTEL (Centro

de Investigación de las Telecomunicaciones de Colombia); CIU (Cámara de Industrias del

Uruguay) and TESEO (Technical Support for European Organisations, Belgium).

COLOMBIA-Project Initiatives and Country Capacities In The NEM Sector

CINTEL 1

INTRODUCTION

The NEM field is rapidly growing in Colombia, boasting a vast potential in software, IT and

content. Colombia is working to become a global competitor and many efforts are being

done towards this goal at different institutional and government level: just to name a few,

the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism has defined IT and Software as one of its

eight “World class sectors”, the COLCIENCIAS 1 ETI council is working in the new

electronics, telecommunications and information (ETI) R&D roadmap, and the ICT ministry

will soon launch its digital content law.

Colombia offers a unique environment for the implementation of new European

technologies in the field of NEM, considering its excellent relations, the Free Trade

Agreement and the adoption of European standard of digital TV.

A first result of the different activities conducted by SALA3D in Colombia during these first

six months can be formulated as a heightened awareness of the opportunities and the

potential that cooperation with Europe brings. As consequence, the Colombian delegation

brings a set of project initiatives and a list of key stakeholders with powerful capacities in

the NEM sector and a willingness to collaborate.

This document present a compilation of research programmes, projects and opportunities

for EU and Colombia, in the target technologies of SALA3D: Content aware Networks,

Networks aware Applications and 3D Media Internet. This compilation had been done

through direct interviews, SALA3D workshops, and surveys to the key actors and

represents a really important source of information that aims to help in the process of

match making of initiatives and researches from Europe and Colombia.

PROJECT INITIATIVES

This section compiles a set of projects and ideas that have been collected during the SALA3D

workshops, direct meetings, and different disseminations. In this section are presented the

different initiatives that have been showing interest in European researchers that complement

their skills and capacities to develop their projects.

Each initiative is describe briefly exalting the results that are expected after the development of

the project as well as what are the skills and characteristics looked in the needed partners.

Additionally, a short introduction of the entity is presented.

3D GAMES OPEN SOURCE AUTHORING TOOL FOR ITV (SUIGENERIS)

The project aims to develop an authoring tool which focuses on visual designers and non-game

developers. It will use real maps (raster maps or CAD building) and a user-friendly interface to

develop serious and none-serious games that can be played on a Set top Box (iTV) or a home

computer.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The project’s aim is not only the use of available open source tools and real environments which will

be obtained from digital elevation maps and CAD information from buildings, but also virtual

scenarios which will be created with traditional tools.

The expected outcome of this initiative is the generation of an authoring tool, t-learning application

software, a source code, a project wiki, and technical documentation.

THREE DIMENSIONAL +TIME +SPACE (3DT-S)

The project seeks to implement a web platform which allows the user to upload and

visualize contents (videos, pictures, animation, 3D models, etc.) indexed in time, date and

space. The user can “travel” in time (and, for example, reconstruct how a place has

changed in the course of time) or space (for a specific point in time on a micro and macro

level). The physical space can be anything from a house or museum, to a natural park or

an entire city. The user will be able to go on virtual journey through space and time and in

addition will be given the respective historical information. This web platform will allow users

to share and exchange pictures, comments or any other user-defined information. This

project supports research in “increased reality” and “new generation browsers”. It can

prove to be of great value to companies specialising in education or tourism or to anyone

who might need information about specific points in time.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Results to be expected from this project are a web platform for shared and visualized

contents, standards for information codification, and standards for visualization and

access.

ENTITY PROFILE

Multimedia Service develops solutions in the educational, defence, transport, health and

service sectors.

CINTEL 4

MOBILE INFORMATION REALITY INMERSIVE (MIRI)

The project consists in the implementation of an augmented reality system which will use

mobile devices with GPS technology, camera and internet access.

Whenever the user of the mobile device is in a real physical space, he may enter the

system, which will use GPS to establish the user’s position. If directed at a building,

monument, painting or a landscape, the mobile device will immediately display 3D

animations or information about the respective place. The device is even able to obtain

commercial information about restaurants, stores, bars, etc. The information given is being

downloaded from an internet database.

This device turns any given space into a virtual information center. Its application can

prove extremely useful to tourists, but also to teaching centers that want to get away from

the conventional classroom situation and offer alternative, ultramodern and highly inspiring

ways of teaching.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The project is expected to create an augmented reality system with open parameters for

standardizing the use and cooperation through mobile devices with GPS, camera and

internet access which will inform the user about the key data of the place in which it is

positioned (immersion in space).

ENTITY PROFILE

Multimedia Service develops innovative solutions for the educational, defence, transport,

health and service sectors.


The project needs support from possible members of the consortium with the development
