Sm(art)${}^2$

Participants : Laurent Grisoni [correspondant] , Betty Lemaire-Semail, Frédéric Giraud, Géry Casiez.

We submitted in april 2012 the IP proposal Sm(art)${}^2$ on the call 9, priority 8.2 "ICT for access to cultural ressources". Laurent Grisoni is the scientific coordinator of this proposal. It includes 25 partners, with a global budget of 10 489 Keuros. This proposal ranks 4th on the call among 40 submissions, three proposals are currently in the negociation phasis. Our proposal is currently ranking first on the additionnal list.

• Program: FP7-ICT-2011-9

• Project acronym: Sm(art)${}^2$

• Project title: Smart art: smart tools for personnalised and engaging experiences in cultural heritage

• Duration: 48 months

• Coordinator: L. Grisoni

• Other partners: organisme, labo (pays): Musee du louvres-lens (france), Fraunhoffer (germany), CNRS (france), University Hasselt (belgium), Softkinetic (Belgium), immersion (france), InescID (portugal), France Telecom (france), ...

• Abstract: Sm(art)${}^2$ project is based on the extended model of museum visit concept (pre-, during and post experience) combining physical and online museum and addresses visitors as participants rather than passive consumers.The next generation of museum practitioners will have to think through these challenges carefully, drawing the links more closely between the physical and the virtual so that the museum create more engaging and personalizing experiences and reaches more people meaningfully. The Sm(art)${}^2$ project aims to implement an interoperable platform with a reusable set of tools and compatible equipment for advanced innovative digital technologies that are able to demonstrate enhanced engaging and personalized experiences of cultural heritage in museums. Moreover the development of economic models for the efficient and legal exploitation of high quality content and technologies will permit the implementation of new services related to the cultural heritage and the use of new technologies.

SHIVA (InterReg II-Seas, 2010-2014)

Participants : Fabrice Aubert, Géry Casiez, Samuel Degrande, Laurent Grisoni [correspondant] , Damien Marchal, Yosra Rekik, Nicolas Roussel.

• Program: Interreg-II seas IV-A

• Project acronym: SHIVA

• Project title: Sculpture for Haelth-care: Interaction and Virtual Art in 3D

• Duration: february 2010-march 2014

• Coordinator: L. Grisoni

• Other partners: organisme, labo (pays) : University Bournemouht (UK), Victoria education center (Poole, UK), Fondation Hopale (Berck/mer, France)

• Abstract: The SHIVA project aims to create a tool that combines virtual reality, advanced geometric modelling, gesture analysis and digital fabrication in a framework for the modelling and physical fabrication of 3-dimensional shapes and objects. The system will be simple to use and disseminate, specifically enabling and improving the quality of life for individuals with impairments, by facilitating and promoting social inclusion and interaction. It will use, provided that patient pathologies allows for it, hands-free interaction, based on currently available hardware systems. Some of the most complex aspects of the system will be transparent to the user or patient. This will enable individuals with or without impairments who use the system to be able to interact with and model 3-dimensional objects that can then be physically manufactured. A set of specific interfaces will also be implemented for children with very low physical abilities (two-states interfaces for example).
