1. Project in nutshell

This project implemented a Facebook application to display context information obtained from a mobile phone. The company partner, Nokia Research Center, provided us a software package that detects the user?s environment (e.g. car, restaurant, street) and activity (e.g. 
idle, running, walking). The mobile application transmits this information to Facebook, and a Facebook application displays the information in an entertaining and interesting way.


1. Project in nutshell

Project Ambiance sharing is all about recording and/or sharing of an 360 degree audio-visual scene through some kind of multi-camera & multi-microphone array system configuration. The project topic itself is very broad and there are many challenges in the array setup and processing. The project has two big challenges: To have a multi-camera processing system to cover 360 degree 3D visual scene and multi-microphone processing system to record or process 3D sound synchronized along with the 3D visual scene.

"Corporate managers understand the benefit of capturing and sharing intellectual capital, but they do not understand the process of putting it into action."

Project team created a measurement and visualisation framework as well as a demo how process owner can guide and manage its processes produced by multiproducer network. The demo shows how to manage visually service processes by means of of informative and visually effective control room with relevant indicators and clear and simple signals.

"We had an enthusiastic spirit over the project and now we are looking forward to new challenges!"
