A MOME TechLab csatlakozott a fenti címmel elindított EU  COST IS1404 akcióhoz.  A téma aktualitását jelzi, hogy 31 ország vesz részt partnerként, akik kutatókat mellett kiadókat sőt írókat is delegáltak. Ruttkay Zsófia, aki a menedzsment bizottság (MC) egyik magyar tagja, április 8-10 között részt vett a Ljubljanaban rendezett első találkozón. Itt munkacsoportok alakultak egy-egy kérdés körüljárására. A MOME TechLab az interaktív könyvek vizuális  tervezése, valamint a figyelemmegosztás  és kognitív terhelés biometrikus mérésének témáiban érdekelt. Ősszel a berlini egyetemen lesz egy továbbképzés az utóbbi eszközökről, melyeket a labor az interaktív könyv kutatásban szeretne hasznosítani.

 The TERENCE project is a 7th European Framework Program (FP7) Information Communication-  Technology (ICT) Specific Targeted research Project (STReP).

 14 partners are participating from 8 countries in the project, led by the University of L'Aquila with the goal to  develop an interactive and adaptive e-Learning system to help 6-12 year old children with text  comprehension  difficulties in improving their skills. The effect of the system will be tested on Italian and  English children.

Emotional facial expressions - Japanese-Hungarian cooperation

Emotions on Cartoon Faces - Do Japanese and Hungarian Perseive then Differently?

Osaka Institute of Technology (Prof. Tomoko Koda) – MOME (Ruttkay Zsófia) projekt 2009-2011

 

Nowadays on displays of computer or mobil phones we  often come across talking and gesturing virtual characters, who must be ableo also to show emotions via their facial expressions. In this research we set out to explore if Japanese and Hungarian interpret certain facialexpression in a similar or different way. In the bilateral research Japanese and Hungarian students create faces with sad and happy expressions, which will be tested among both nations. The first experiments suggest that the Japanese pay more attention to the eye region, while the Hungarian to the mouth region, in attirbution an emotion to the facial expression.

 

Activities:

2009 Fall:           online experiments with faces designed in Japan
2010 March:       Prof. Tomoko Koda visiting CTL at MOME
2010 Spring:       MOME students prepare the Hungarian faces with teh CharToon software
2010 Fall:           evaluation of the Hungarian faces

2011 Spring:      publication of the results
