HESTIA - Home Energy Signals Toward Intelligent Applications
2011 - 2014 / Author: Christophe Gisler
The idea of the project is to exploit signals acquired from different sensors distributed in the electricity plugs of a house to monitor and pilot the heating system and the electric appliances. The sensors used in this project are able to detect presences in rooms, to measure the temperatures and to measure the active power consumed by the plug.

FEOGARM - A Framework to Evaluate and Optimize Gesture Acquisition and Recognition Methods
2010 - 2013 / Author: Simon Ruffieux
The goal of this thesis is to provide a powerful methodology and framework to the researchers working on the upper-body gesture recognition field in order to quantitatively compare the efficiency of their tracking and recognition algorithms as independently as possible of the technologies and devices used.
TEMPO - Using Physical Artefacts and Smart Objects to Improve Gesture Recognition
2010 - 2013 / Author: Leonardo Angelini
The aim of the TEMPO project is investigating tangible gestures interaction through smart personal objects. Main research axes include an interaction with a smart watch and a smart pen and a synergic use of both devices in a smart environment. The two smart personal objects will be able to communicate to each other and with the smart environment through Bluetooth, thus allowing combining information detected from the user's hand movements.
MAGI System - Mind Augmented Gesture Recognition
2009 - 2012 / Author: Francesco Carrino
The goal of the project is to develop an interface that combines the concepts of Gesture Recognition, Context Awareness and Multimodal Interaction and is based on psycho-physiological signals in order to enhance our communication and control capabilities with everyday objects of our life.
ARAMIS - Augmented Reality Avatar as Model for Interaction Science
2008 - 2011 / Author: Stefano Carrino
ARAMIS is focused on context aware interaction of a human with a smart environment. Research axes are related to interaction and to context awareness. In particular, ARAMIS takes in account gesture and human-machine interactions with an egocentric perspective.
