Kurzbeschreibung

This paper introduces the EU IST three-year project MEGA (Multisensory Expressive Gesture Applications). MEGA is centered on the modeling and communication of expressive and emotional content in non-verbal interaction by multi-sensory interfaces in shared interactive mixed reality environments. In particular, the project focuses on music performance and full-body movements as first class conveyors of expressive and emotional content. Main research issues include the analysis of expressive gestures (i.e. analysis of the expressive content conveyed through full body movement and musical gestures), the synthesis of expressive gesture (i.e. the communication of expressive content through computer-generated expressive gesture, such as music performances, movement of virtual characters, expressive utilization of visual media), the strategies for mapping the data coming from multimodal analysis onto the different output channels. Applications concern new generation of musical instruments (for professional as well as home consumer), applications based on enhanced Collaborative VEs embedding expressive communication, e.g. for theatre and interactive artistic performances.
