Bilateral Contracts with Industry

• Mock-up of a tool for dynamic media pre-production: we are currently working with the HCOP holding company on the design of new tools for the pre-production of dynamic medias such as videos, e-learning animations, etc. This work involves interviews of professional video producers, the identification of opportunities for tools that could help them, and the production of descriptions and mock-ups of these tools.

• Recognition and interpretation of piano fingering: we have started a new collaboration with Hugues Leclère, concert pianist and professor at the “Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris”. Our objective is to investigate new sensing technology and interpretation algorithms for accurate live recognition of piano fingerings. Ultimately, this technology would ease the transcription of fingerings directly onto scores during play and support both the learning and training of piano fingerings, given appropriate visualization and interaction techniques that we will investigate in a second phase of this collaboration.
