Forschung

Zu diesen Forschungsprojekten zählen unter anderem die vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderten Projekte SmartKom, VirtualHuman und SmartWeb, das vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft geförderte Programm Theseus sowie die EU-geförderten internationalen Forschungsprojekte COMIC, TALK und i2home. Darüber hinaus flossen die Ergebnisse aus Industrieprojekten mit Partnern wie T-Systems GmbH, Daimler AG, Autostadt GmbH und Volkswagen AG in die Entwicklung der ODP Plattform ein.
Durch die gegebene Nähe zur Forschung, insbesondere zum DFKI, können wir bei der Entwicklung unserer Lösungen und Produkte stets auf aktuellste Ergebnisse und Entwicklungen im Bereich multimodaler Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen zurückgreifen.
Im Folgenden finden Sie eine kleine Übersicht ausgewählter Publikationen aus der Forschungstätigkeit der SemVox Mitarbeiter:
