AVISICIL : open project, PACA Region

AVISICIL is a 3-years project funded by the PACA Region which complements the ANR project ISICIL. AVISICIL goal (as repositioned in 2010) is to contribute to the design of a system supporting elderly people by recognizing/monitoring their emotions through various sensors. The AVISICIL partners are: the Edelweiss research team; the Kewi research team (I3S Laboratory, UNS, France), and the Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive et Sociale (UNS, France). This year, we conducted a social ergonomic study to provide elements of design and evaluation of a system aimed at recognizing the affective states that indicate a loss or maintenance of social ties of elderly people (see section 6.2.5.2 ).
