S&T OBJECTIVES
The aim of c-Space is to create new technologies aiming atsupporting creativity processes. The 3D reconstructionframework of c-Space leverages on videos recorded withmobile devices for the creation, in nearly real-time, of acontinuously evolving 4D model (3D plus time) of thecorresponding real scene. The adaptive and affectivecontent access module helps the creative process byreducing the time needed to find the appropriate and atthe same time increasing its quality. It relies on affectivecomputing to detect emotions, which in turn help creatorsto iterate and improve the quality of their designs. Lastly, c-Space introduces also new visual paradigms based oninteraction with pico-projected content. In contrast totraditional augmented reality strategies that require theuser to wear head-mounted displays, mobile contentprojections are not limited to users wearing the AR devicesand path new way in the augmentation of the
c-Space addresses the strategic Objective ICT-2013.8.1 “Technologies andscientific foundations in the field of creativity” targeting the topic “a)Creative experience tools”. The precise list of S&T objectives is:
• Objective 1: To allow interactive near real-time 4D reconstruction of realscenes from pictures and live video streams coming from multiple users.
• Objective 2: To deliver a mechanism based on crowdsourcing that promotesreconstruction of 3D scenes for different creative purposes.
• Objective 3: To ensure the very high-quality visualization of content within anAugmented Reality application for portable devices (smartphones, tablets)that accounts for real geometry of surrounding space.
• Objective 4: To deliver a more immersive experience and create new visualcomputing paradigms based on interaction with content projected in the realenvironment that surrounds the user.
• Objective 5: To facilitate intuitiveness and user friendliness through adialogue-based interaction founded on affective computing paradigms.
• Objective 6: To develop a system that can be run on consumer mobiletechnology, either already available today or that is set to reach the marketshortly (e.g. pico-projectors).
• Objective 7: To define a business model that can ensure low-cost 3Dmodelling software as a service, thus allowing cost-effective, IT-asset-freeoperations, facilitating adaptation to varying market demand.
• Objective 8: To develop low-level technology that is then further specializedto respond to requirements of individual creators as well as specialized SMEsin 3 domains: architecture, advertisement, cultural tourism.
• Objective 9: To demonstrate c-Space in the following real life scenarios withinvolvement of the following SME partners of the project.
ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN PLANNING
The objective of this demonstrator is to provideprofessionals in urban planning and architecture withthe possibility to access sets of historical andmorphological data through a number of standardweb-services, which are then used to “augment” thereal scene. This demonstrator will allow studyingcollaborative solutions throughout “augmented”scenes that make it possible for the various people tojoin a participative/cooperative process. This processmakes it possible to assess possible projects withinthe real landscape as automatically reconstructed byc-Space.

Combining the digital and physical worlds, augmentedreality offers brands a unique new opportunity tointeract with consumers. With this demonstrator, c-Space relys upon on projected AR paradigms todeliver a richer experience and create moreinnovative forms of advertisement through projection- around the users - of interactive content on the realworld, perfectly “blended” within the real scene.
INDIVIDUAL CONTENT CREATION &CULTURAL TOURISM
This demonstrator is deployed as a softwarecomponent that can be used by SMEs operating in thecultural tourism industry to create highly personalisedcultural routes throughout a real space. By using thec-Space, content creators will be able to access digitalcontent, reference it to the real space, and cross-link itto create a network of geographical and logicalhyperlinks.
