Multimedia, Interaction and Smart Environments Group

Vision

The evolution of the Internet into its next phase will create a profound transformation in society, affecting the way people relate with technology as a collectivity and as individuals. In this new context, the traditional means of people to interact with other people and with information will be surpassed by new communication affordances (like rich media anytime, anywhere, information management of trillions of data from the physical and virtual worlds) and a major breakthrough in interactive systems will be required in order to fully exploit the new possibilities that the Future Internet will bring. The obvious questions that will need to be answer will deal with i) How people will interact with media and other people in the Future Internet? ii) How will the high amount of information be managed to provide only what is useful in the right time/place? iii) What will be the link between the physical-sensed world and the virtual one and how it will affect users’ interaction? iv) What kind of applications will dominate the next Internet?
MISE Group scope is to respond to the previous questions by means of creating innovative forms of interaction, collaboration and information sharing, that can be fully integrated in the social environment of different communities, thus improving the quality of social relationships and communication capabilities.
