SHARESPACE

Enriching social interaction in shared hybrid spaces

Extended reality (XR) is an emerging technology with promising potential in many areas, but several limitations must be overcome to enrich the interactive experience for users. The EU-funded SHARESPACE project aims to establish a novel prototype for a socially interactive avatar and/or agent based on human sensorimotor communication. It will capture natural body movements, facial expressions and hand gestures to compile an array of sensorimotor primitives: these will aid the design of AI-based architecture of a fully mobile human rendering with customisable characteristics. SHARESPACE will validate the prototype in three real-life situations of shared hybrid spaces involving human and artificial agents in the fields of health, sport and art
