Partner Projects

The CALMARS project is the link between two other projects in the area of affective computing and Augmented Reality. It links the CALLAS project and two partner in Ubiquitous VR together.

CALLAS

Main project partner for CALMARS is CALLAS (Conveying Affectiveness in Leading-Edge Living Adaptive Systems). CALLAS is a Framework 6 project of the EU. The mission statement of CALLAS: The CALLAS Integrated Project aims to design and to develop a multimodal architecture including emotional aspects, to support applications in the new media business scenario, with an “ambient intelligence” paradigm
